To avoid sensitive categories, topics must be public, human-curated, and remain up to date. The initial taxonomy proposed for testing by Chrome has been human-curated [to exclude categories generally considered sensitive](https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/topics#meeting-the-privacy-goals:~:text=of%20a%20page.-,The,-topics%20revealed%20by), such as ethnicity or sexual orientation.

For 10,000 top sites, the Topics API implementation in Chrome uses a manually curated, publicly available [override list](/docs/privacy-sandbox/topics/topic-classification/#classifier-model) to map hostnames to topics. For other sites, the Topics API uses a [machine learning](https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/machine-learning/what-is-machine-learning-infographic/) model to infer topics from hostnames.
For around 50,000 top sites, the Topics API implementation in Chrome uses a manually curated, publicly available [override list](/docs/privacy-sandbox/topics/topic-classification/#classifier-model) to map hostnames to topics. For other sites, the Topics API uses a [machine learning](https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/machine-learning/what-is-machine-learning-infographic/) model to infer topics from hostnames.

Chrome's implementation of the Topics API downloads a [TensorFlow Lite](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide) file representing the model so it can be used locally on the user's device.
