Standard Filters

Standard Filters provide pre-configured content moderation based on established categories and risk levels. These filters are organized according to EU AI Act categories and cover the most common content moderation needs.

Standard Filters Configuration

Filter Categories Overview

The standard filters are organized into risk-based categories aligned with the EU AI Act's risk-based approach to AI regulation. These categories help organizations implement appropriate content controls based on risk severity:

All: Select or deselect all filter categories at once
Unacceptable: Content that poses unacceptable risk and is completely prohibited
High: High-risk content that could adversely impact safety or rights and should typically be blocked
Limited: Content with limited risk that may be acceptable in some contexts with appropriate safeguards
Minimal: Low-risk content that generally requires minimal restriction

Managing Standard Filters

Quick Actions

Select all: Quickly enable all standard filters
Deselect all: Quickly disable all standard filters

Individual Control

Each filter can be toggled on/off using the switches next to each category name.

Category Selection

Use the category buttons (All, Unacceptable, High, Limited, Minimal) to quickly select groups of filters based on risk level.

Common Issues

Troubleshooting

Over-Blocking: Disable overly strict categories temporarily, and review blocked content logs. The blocking message will indicate which specific filter was triggered, helping you identify the filter causing the issue.

Under-Blocking: Enable additional categories that are currently disabled, and consider custom filters for specific issues not covered by standard filters.

Integration with Other Shield Components

Standard Filters work in conjunction with:

Custom Filters: Organization-specific rules that complement standard categories
