This provision establishes a compliance boundary for platform use by restricting development of AI systems that target oversight infrastructure. It reflects the provider's policy to condition service access on alignment with regulatory and monitoring frameworks that govern AI systems.
Interpretive note: The terms 'legitimate authorities' and 'oversight mechanisms' are undefined, creating significant interpretive ambiguity about the scope of this prohibition, particularly for AI safety researchers and adversarial ML practitioners.
Users are prohibited from utilizing the Services to create AI systems designed to interfere with governmental or legitimate oversight mechanisms. This restriction applies to the permitted scope of system development and deployment on the platform regardless of other terms in the agreement.
How other platforms handle this
Don't claim to be human when directly and sincerely asked, use AI to deceive people about its fundamental nature, or impersonate real people or organizations in misleading ways.
You may not use Runway's tools to build or support systems designed for mass surveillance, tracking of individuals without their consent, or the unlawful monitoring of protected groups or activities.
