AI content moderation is the use of machine learning models, natural language processing, computer vision, and related automated systems to detect, classify, and act on policy-violating content at scale. For publishers, it's the technical foundation of a brand safety operation. The layer that makes it possible to govern UGC surfaces receiving more submissions per day than any human team could review.
This guide covers the full architecture of an AI content moderation system built for publishers who depend on premium demand.
