In this episode, we explore a particularly controversial topic: content moderation.
What is content moderation? What role does AI play in this context? How do platforms decide which content is allowed? We discuss the challenges and ethical dilemmas surrounding content moderation, as well as the impact these decisions could have on free speech and public discourse.
Sophie Butz and Cassandra Audibert are joined by David Hartmann, researcher at the Weizenbaum Institute to discuss these questions. With his expertise in computer science and philosophy, David Hartmann talks about biases in algorithmic systems and the advantages and risks of using AI for content moderation.
