Survey: Consumers Want Humans Moderating Content Online, Not Just AI

Brands that employ both AI and human resources ensure effective content review and safer digital spaces

According to a recent survey by TELUS International, a digital customer experience (CX) innovator, the vast majority (92%) of consumer respondents believe that it is very important or somewhat important to have humans reviewing content online versus artificial intelligence (AI) alone. Of those respondents, nearly three-quarters (73%) felt that AI doesn’t understand or can’t distinguish context and tone as well as a human.

“AI continues to become increasingly sophisticated in detecting digital content that goes against brand standards and community guidelines and has proved to be a great first line of defense against harmful content - but, with new content types constantly emerging and the increased use of algospeak, it is practically impossible for AI to keep pace,” said Siobhan Hanna, Managing Director, AI Data Solutions, TELUS International. “There continues to be a need for humans to handle more contextual decisions, as AI can only go so far in accurately making the sometimes difficult decisions about the intent behind a particular phrase or image. By employing a human-in-the-loop approach, brands can benefit from the speed and efficiencies of AI, while at the same time, ensuring nuanced content is accurately reviewed.”

Content Moderation Becoming Increasingly Difficult

The survey also found that more than half of respondents (53%) believe it has become harder for brands and social / gaming platforms to monitor the content on their sites over the past year. The top reasons as to why they believe it has become harder are:

  • There are more people on each platform/channel (66%)
  • It’s becoming more commonplace to air grievances online (54%)
  • Younger generations are more digitally inclined (50%)
  • Content is being posted in more languages (29%)
  • 5G connectivity has enabled increased access to digital channels around the world (19%)

“With more people online across a variety of platforms and in many different languages, content moderation cannot be done effectively by AI or humans alone,” continued Hanna. “A robust content moderation strategy that leverages a blend of AI whose algorithms have been built on a foundation of trusted datasets by a diverse team of annotators helps ensure that the data is accurate, context is properly taken and bias is responsibly mitigated. AI content moderation tools will only continue to improve, but human moderators will always be a necessary and valuable resource in ensuring safe online spaces for all. For this reason, it’s important that brands support content moderators with a robust wellness program to enable and empower them to perform their best work, while at the same time protecting their mental and physical health.”

TELUS International partners with global brands to protect the safety and well-being of their user communities. The company employs a global AI Community of more than one million data annotators and linguists fluent in more than 500 languages and dialects, as well as a diverse community of human content moderators.
