Hello All,

When working with AI services in Azure, we noticed there is a separate AI content safety service and a Default Content Safety that gets applied when deploying an Azure OpenAI model.

Are these 2 things same or different services?. if they are different services, can someone please provide more details on the differences.

When to use the default service and when to go for the separate content safety service?.

Thanks.

    Hi Jason Isaac

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

    Azure AI Content Safety: This is a specialized service that helps find and manage harmful content created by users or AI in apps and services. It offers various tools to check text, images, and mixed content for safety, and has features like checking if content is accurate, protecting sensitive material, and adding extra safety layers.

    Azure OpenAI Model Content Safety: This is a built-in safety feature for Azure OpenAI models that makes sure their outputs are safe and follow certain standards. It might not have as many detailed options or custom settings as the dedicated Azure AI Content Safety service.
