SUMMARY:AI and Content Moderation
DESCRIPTION:Public pressure on platform companies to more soundly monitor t
 he content on their sites is constantly increasing. To address this\, plat
 forms are turning to algorithmic content moderation systems. These systems
  prioritize content that promises to increase engagement and block content
  that is deemed illegal or is infringing the platform's own policies and g
 uidelines. But content moderation is a ‘wicked problem’ that raises ma
 ny questions all of which eschew simple answers. Where is the line between
  hate speech and freedom of expression – and how to automate and deploy 
 this on a global scale? Are platforms overblocking legitimate content\, or
  are they rather failing to limit illegal speech on their sites?&nbsp\;Wit
 hin the framework of a ten-week virtual research sprint hosted by the HIIG
 \, thirteen international researchers from various disciplines came togeth
 er to tackle the challenges posed by automation in content moderation. The
 ir work resulted in policy briefings focused on algorithmic audits and on 
 increasing the transparency and accountability of automated content modera
 tion systems. We warmly invite you to learn more about their findings and 
 attend their output presentations followed by a panel discussion.AgendaOpe
