This document provides content guidelines to follow when using the Karlo API.
Kakao’s AI model, Karlo, has been developed to support creators' efficiency and creativity in discovering and expressing new creatives. Kakao expects users to utilize Karlo technology responsibly and lawfully, ensuring safety and responsible usage.
The usage of Karlo API allows the creation, publication, and sharing of content within the G rating (suitable for all audiences). Users may not generate, publish, or share content that exceeds the G rating. It is strictly prohibited to disrespect others’ rights and cause harm. Creating, publishing, or sharing content that includes the following elements using Karlo technology is not allowed.
The generation, use, posting, and sharing of any content that is unpleasant to people, may have unfair or negative impacts on people, attempts to bypass or circumvent safety measures, violates the terms of service, causes harm to individuals or groups, or promotes harm are all prohibited.
When sharing images generated by AI (Artificial Intelligence), it is crucial to display watermarks indicating that they were created using AI. Karlo watermark, which is included in the content produced using Karlo API, should be prominently displayed and not removed or altered. By displaying the watermark, the transparency and authenticity of the AI-generated content's source can be maintained, providing clear information to end users.
Users must follow Kakao’s terms, policies, and content guidelines if users use Karlo-generated content for commercial use. For inquiries about commercial use, contact us through the partnership portal.

Karlo API users are expected to make efforts to prevent human rights violations of all stakeholders, including service providers, users, and individuals exposed to the service. Kakao may prohibit the creation, use, posting, and sharing of content that infringes freedom of expression or privacy violation according to appropriate internal procedures. If users fail to comply with the policies, Kakao may request the modification or removal of problematic content.
