Question

You are deploying a customer-facing generative AI assistant on an Azure AI Foundry model deployment. The compliance team requires that any output containing self-harm content be blocked entirely, but they also report that legitimate medical-support responses are being incorrectly rejected because the default content filter is too aggressive on the 'violence' category. You must reduce false positives on violence while keeping the strictest possible blocking for self-harm. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a custom content filter configuration on the deployment, set the self-harm severity threshold to block at low and above, and raise the violence threshold to block only at high severity.

Answer

Disable the built-in content filter entirely and implement all moderation logic in application code using regular expressions.

Answer

Switch the deployment from a Standard to a Provisioned throughput unit deployment so that content filtering severity can be tuned per request.

Answer

Enable Prompt Shields for jailbreak detection, which will automatically relax the violence category while tightening the self-harm category.
