This insightful conversation on AI content moderation will explore:
- Model Fairness: Humans can identify when AI models exhibit bias against certain groups, languages, or cultural contexts that automated metrics might miss.
- Catching Emerging Harms: Human reviewers can spot novel threats before AI systems are trained to recognize them.
- Preserving Domain Expertise: Human moderators bring contextual understanding, cultural nuance, and subject matter expertise that AI systems often lack.
- Empowering Human Moderators: How to augment, rather than replace, human judgment.
- Protecting User Communities: How to ensure both speed (AI handles volume) and accuracy (humans handle complexity) in content moderation.
