Mitigations
The AUP prohibits use of the Service to develop bioweapons, chemical weapons, or weapons of mass destruction, and forbids circumventing safeguards except by members of an official Red Team or those with xAI's explicit authorization. xAI reports suspected child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Users can report violative content via an in-product reporting flow or by emailing support@x.ai.
Deployment and access

Limitations
The card does not discuss technical limitations of the underlying model. The policy itself acknowledges that "our policies will evolve over time as our Service and user base change, as well as based on what we learn over time," implying current rules are not considered final.
