Responsible AI for Veo on Vertex AI video generation

Veo on Vertex AI is designed with Google's AI principles in mind. However, it is important for developers to understand how to test and deploy Google's models safely and responsibly. To aid developers, Veo on Vertex AI has built-in safety features to help customers block potentially harmful outputs within their use cases. For more information, see safety filters.

We encourage customers to use fairness, interpretability, privacy, and security best practices when developing AI applications. For more information, see The People + AI Guidebook.

Safety filters

Veo on Vertex AI offers several ways to input prompts to generate videos, including text, video, and images. Prompts that are provided to Veo are assessed against a list of safety filters, which include harmful categories (for example, violence, sexual, derogatory, and toxic). These safety filters aim to filter out input images and videos that violate the Google Cloud Platform Acceptable Use Policy, Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy, or Our AI Principles.

If the model responds to a request with an error message, such as The prompt couldn't be submitted or it might violate our policies, then the input is triggering a safety filter. If fewer videos than requested are returned, then some generated output is being blocked for not meeting safety requirements.

Safety filter code categories

Depending on the safety filters that you configure, your output may contain a safety code similar to: "Veo could not generate videos because the input image violates Vertex AI's usage guidelines. If you think this was an error, send feedback. Support codes: 15236754"

The code listed in the output corresponds to a specific harmful category.

The following table displays the support code to safety category mappings:
