Commitment to Safety

We believe that AI tools in a social environment can enable expansive creative expression, but also present unique challenges. As Cantina builds an entirely new kind of experience, social AI, we take the mission of protecting our users and providing a positive environment as a critical foundation to empowering creative exploration and connection with friends. We’ve baked in safety as a core principle for our tools from the very bottom up, put human users in the driver seat, and partnered with a broad tapestry of leading experts and advocates to ensure that we continue to evolve our policies and build trust into every one of our features.

Safety
Principles

Anticipate harms

We leverage powerful AI tools and a world-class team of experienced human moderators to proactively detect and root out both novel and known misuses of our product.

Empower users

Users are fully in control of their Cantina experience with access to a broad range of safety tools, education, and human moderator support.

Drive accountability

We partner with leading experts, civil society, academia, lawmakers, and consumer advocates to build trust and push our industry forward, while ensuring our features and policies can adapt to evolving regulatory and consumer landscapes.

Lead with transparency

We bake in provenance systems to track the chain of custody of content generated by our tools, and we aim to transparently distinguish between human creation versus synthetic AI creations. We are committed to sharing our learnings as we iterate on our systems and policies.

How do we bring AI to social in a responsible way?

Policies and Guidelines

We have designed a set of Community Guidelines and safety policies in order to foster a safe environment for our community. These policies enable us to set clear expectations for the rules of engagement on our platform, protect the integrity of our community, and promote healthy interactions. Compliance with our guidelines is crucial in creating a welcoming space for diverse voices as well as encouraging bold and new creativity.

We are constantly evaluating our set of policies and working with both our community and trusted partners to ensure that we are evolving to meet what is a rapidly changing landscape.
