Moderation
The process of reviewing and managing content, often with human oversight, to ensure it meets community guidelines and safety standards.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Moderation, in the context of AI-generated or AI-processed content, involves a combination of automated content filtering and human review to enforce platform policies, identify and remove harmful content, and manage user interactions, particularly in social media or user-generated content platforms.
BACKGROUND
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
