Combating online child sexual exploitation & abuse

OpenAI said on September 29, 2025 it bans any sexualized content involving people under 18, and reports accounts that generate or upload CSAM/CSEM to NCMEC. The post names hash matching, Thorn’s CSAM classifier, and OpenAI models for monitoring text, image, audio, video, and uploads; the key signal is that OpenAI says it has observed users uploading abusive material and asking for detailed descriptions.

Why it matters: HKR-K and HKR-R pass: OpenAI discloses a concrete moderation stack across uploads and admits observed abuse patterns. HKR-H is weak because the title is a direct safety policy note, so this fits the 72–77 featured band.
