The provision documents OpenAI's operational architecture for content filtering, establishing that CSAM prevention operates as a mandatory technical control while explicit sexual content operates under a default-deny model with operator override capability. This structure allocates responsibility for content policy enforcement between the platform's baseline configuration and individual operator discretion.
Users of the standard model experience refusal of CSAM requests and default prevention of explicit sexual content generation. Operators of designated adult platforms may configure the system to permit explicit sexual content generation, shifting the content governance decision from OpenAI's baseline to operator implementation.

"We have implemented safeguards to prevent the generation of CSAM or detailed sexual content involving minors... We have classifiers to detect when users are attempting to use the model to generate CSAM and will refuse such requests. We also have safeguards in place to prevent the generation of explicit sexual content by default, though operators can unlock explicit sexual content generation for appropriate adult platforms.— Excerpt from OpenAI's GPT-4o System Card (PDF)
