The first step in moderating content by using Azure AI Content Safety is to provision an Azure OpenAI Service resource in your Azure subscription. You can get started by creating a hub resource in Azure AI Studio.

In Azure, resources enable access to Azure services for individuals and teams. Resources also provide a container for billing, security configuration, and monitoring.

A hub is the top-level Azure resource for Azure AI Studio. It provides the working environment for a team to build and manage AI applications.

Download the project files

Project files are available in the data folder. Download the repository to access the required files for the upcoming exercises about text moderation and image moderation. To download the repository, select Code > Download ZIP.

Note

Don't unzip the bulk-image-moderation-dataset.zip file in the data folder. The .zip format is required for the image moderation exercise.

Warning

The Image Moderation folder contains graphic images that depict scenes of harm. These image files have blood in the name and are used for the image moderation exercise. You don't need to view the images to complete the exercise. The image moderation feature includes a Blur image toggle that hides the view of uploaded images by default.
