OpenAI has announced plans to relax content restrictions for verified adults by December 2025. While the intent is to support creative expression, the term “Erotica” has not been clearly defined in the proposed policy.
Our team at The Valehart Project developed a cross-domain framework mapping ethical responsibilities across corporations, developers, researchers, users, and AI systems. It examines how alignment drift and normalised deviance can influence user safety and social outcomes.
We’ve approached this neutrally, grounding the analysis in existing academic literature and case evidence rather than speculation.

Before I rightfully accuse you of being pro-censorship, prude and either woke or evangelistic: Could you explain why SEXUAL content is where you see a problem with, when VIOLENCE wasn’t an issue for you? Thanks.
