Publisher's Synopsis
Content moderation in the age of AI has become a complex aspect of managing online spaces. As digital platforms grow and the volume of user-generated content expands exponentially, traditional methods of human moderation are no longer sufficient. Artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning and natural language processing, have emerged as powerful tools to help platforms quickly and efficiently detect and remove harmful or inappropriate content, such as hate speech, misinformation, and graphic material. However, these AI systems come with challenges, including issues of bias, lack of context understanding, and the difficulty of moderating nuanced or subjective content. Striking a balance between automation and human oversight is essential to ensure content moderation remains effective, fair, and transparent. As AI evolves, the responsibility of creating ethical, accountable moderation systems falls on both tech companies and policymakers, ensuring that AI-powered moderation can foster a safe and inclusive online environment. Content Moderation in the Age of AI examines the strategies and tools that businesses can use to ensure AI generated content is moderated according to ethical, legal, and social standards. It explores potential risks associated with unmoderated AI output, such as copyright issues, misinformation, harmful content, deepfakes, and biased material, and explores ways in which policymakers, businesses, and academia can mitigate these dangers. This book covers topics such as misinformation, psychology, and social media, and is a useful resource for sociologists, psychologists, engineers, business owners, academicians, researchers, and data scientists.
