This pull request updates the usage guidelines for the Cohere API, now referred to as the Cohere Services. The changes are primarily focused on clarifying the scope of the guidelines, outlining prohibited activities, and providing additional requirements for customer applications.

Changes:

  • The document's title has been updated to "Usage Policy" to reflect the broader scope of the guidelines.
  • The "slug" field has been changed from "docs/usage-guidelines" to "docs/usage-policy".
  • The description now emphasizes the need for developers to understand and document potential harms, with a focus on responsible use.
  • The section "Comprehend Cohere" has been removed, streamlining the document.
  • A new section, "Universal Requirements", lists prohibited activities, including child sexual exploitation, incitement of violence, illegal activities, and more.
  • The "Understand and Prevent Disallowed Use Cases" section has been removed, with its content integrated into the "Universal Requirements" section.
  • A new section, "Customer Application Requirements", specifies additional rules for customer applications, including disclosure of AI interaction and compliance with child safety regulations.
  • The "Note about adversarial attacks" has been removed, with a new section, "Research Exceptions", encouraging responsible research and providing contact information for safety-related inquiries.
