Roblox Launches Real-Time AI to Rephrase Profanity in Chat

The change targets cleaner conversations, reflecting a broader child-safety push following state lawsuits.

Overview

  • Messages with banned words are rewritten into more respectful text close to the sender’s intent, with a visible notice to all chat participants.
  • Access is limited to in-experience chats between age-verified users in similar age groups following recent verification requirements.
  • A new third AI layer now routes uncertain messages to larger reasoning models to better catch leetspeak and other filter-evasion tactics.
  • Roblox says the upgrades cut false negatives for sharing or soliciting personal information by about 20 times.
  • The rollout focuses on profanity, supports all languages available through Roblox’s translation tools, and repeat rule-bypassing still triggers existing moderation penalties.
