Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many industries in the last few years. It has already made a significant impact across IT, E-commerce, healthcare, and finance among other sectors. We’re familiar with the potential of AI to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and come to conclusions. Companies across the globe are embracing it to gain a competitive advantage in the markets. While Artificial Intelligence has come a long way, human-driven content moderation still remains the most reliable method for filtering user-generated content.
Content moderation requires a certain level of human intelligence to understand context, and interpret based on subjectivity and specificity of the content. Human moderators can make decisions in consideration with linguistic and cultural context in ways that AI algorithms might not be able to. Although artificial intelligence (AI) can help with content management, relying only on it can have negative consequences, such as harmful content slipping through the filters.
The Limitations of AI in Content Moderation
Although AI can help with content filtering, it has limits that may result in unfair and unreliable conclusions. For instance, AI algorithms struggle to grasp sarcastic context effectively, lack emotional intelligence, and may reflect biases in their training data.
By making unbiased choices while taking emotional intelligence and context into consideration, human-driven content moderation can get beyond these restrictions. Together, human moderators can improve the performance of a content moderation system and build user trust. The utilization of AI should be reinforced by human moderators to ensure user-safety across a platform. Let’s explore the benefits of human-driven content moderation.
Advantages of Human-Driven Content Moderation
● Understanding Contexts and Nuances
As humans, we can understand the contexts and intentions behind actions and words. We are also familiar with the local or regional references that are used online. Human-driven content moderation allows for a more nuanced understanding. It assists online platforms in avoiding unreliable flagging of content.
● Emotional and Empathic Approach
With manual or human-driven content moderation, we can approach any information with empathy and emotional intelligence. We have the aptness to respond to emotional aspects of messages. Human empathy is crucial when it comes to making decisions about what user-generated content should be allowed or flagged as inappropriate on a platform.
● Cultural Sensitivity and Awareness
We’ve got a unique understanding of the culture that surrounds us. By using this knowledge to make informed decisions, we can make a great impact on content moderation for different communities across the world. It results in a reduced risk of unfair or provoking moderation decisions.
● Make Complex Judgment Calls
Most importantly, we can make complex judgment calls that AI simply can’t. For instance, a human moderator can foresee the potential harm that can be caused by certain types of content. With human-led filtering of user-generated content, online platforms can ensure fair content moderation.
