a conservative stance in academia that LLMs and LVLMs should avoid these topics. However, in- dustry leaders like OpenAI(OpenAI, 2025) and An- thropic(Anthropic, 2023) allow responses in these areas, provided they include clear warnings and require human expert review—indicating a more pragmatic approach.
