"Character.AI's safety-by-design approach is anchored by our goal of creating a safe and engaging experience.Excerpt from Character.AI's Safety Center
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: General safety commitments on AI platforms may engage the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices if representations about safety are not substantiated by implemented practices. The EU AI Act and the UK Online Safety Act may impose specific safety-by-design obligations depending on platform classification and user geography. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low on the basis of this page alone. The safety-by-design language is aspirational and does not constitute an enforceable operational standard in its current form. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK jurisdictions impose specific safety-by-design obligations on platforms through the AI Act and the Online Safety Act respectively; applicability depends on platform classification and user base. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional procurement teams should not treat this general safety commitment as a contractual warranty or service level standard without reviewing the operative Terms of Service and any applicable data processing agreements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams assessing Character.AI for institutional use should seek specific, operationally defined safety standards in the Terms of Service or supplemental documentation rather than relying on the general commitment stated on this page.
