The policy prohibits using Stability AI's models to generate content that harasses, threatens, or targets individuals, including generating intimate or sexual imagery of real people without their consent.

Non-consensual intimate image generation is criminalized or subject to civil liability in a growing number of jurisdictions, and this prohibition establishes that producing such content using Stability AI's tools constitutes a policy violation regardless of whether the output is photorealistic.
Interpretive note: Exact verbatim text was unavailable due to HTML truncation; the specific scope of the harassment and NCII prohibition, including any carve-outs for artistic or research contexts, cannot be confirmed without the full document.
Users who generate harassing content or non-consensual intimate imagery of real individuals using Stability AI's models violate this provision and may have their access terminated; platform operators who fail to prevent such use on their services may also face AUP breach.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Non-consensual intimate image (NCII) generation is addressed by the UK Online Safety Act 2023 (which created a new criminal offense for sharing or threatening to share intimate images without consent), the DEFIANCE Act (US federal, enacted 2024, creating a civil right of action for victims of AI-generated NCII), and state statutes in California, Virginia, Texas, Georgia, and others. The EU AI Act's provisions on manipulation and the DSA's illegal content obligations are also engaged. The FTC's authority over unfair practices may apply to platforms that enable NCII generation. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for operators building image or video generation tools accessible to general consumers. The DEFIANCE Act creates a federal civil right of action for victims, and state NCII statutes impose criminal and civil liability that may extend to platforms that knowingly facilitate such generation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: UK, US (federal and multiple states), and EU member states all have enacted or are enacting NCII-specific laws. Operators with users in these jurisdictions face compound exposure from the AUP prohibition and applicable national law. Illinois, New York, and additional states are advancing NCII-specific legislation. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platform operators deploying Stability AI's image generation capabilities in consumer products should implement technical safeguards including face detection and identity-matching classifiers to reduce NCII generation risk. Legal teams should assess whether their platform design creates conditions for NCII liability under applicable state or federal statutes. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Operators should document their NCII prevention measures and assess whether their content moderation policies satisfy applicable regulatory requirements. Legal teams should evaluate whether terms of service adequately disclaim and prohibit NCII generation and whether user reporting mechanisms meet regulatory expectations under the Online Safety Act or DSA.
