TikTok has been using AI to ban thousands of South African accounts for violating its rules, it says a report published on September.
The company says it is now using AI to remove 80 percent of videos that violate rules, most before a human can even watch them.for April to June 2024, published in late September, the social media platform removed 614 406 videos posted by South Africans within the period for violating its rules.
It claims that 98.7 percent of the removed videos were taken offline “proactively” meaning before any user could report them, while 88.4 percent of the videos were cut within 24 hours of being uploaded, showing that the network is working fast to keep its feeds clean and perhaps that its mix of human and AI moderation is working well.
“These technical investments also reduce the volume of content that moderators review, helping minimize human exposure to violative content. As a result, automated technology now removes 80% of violative videos, up from 62% a year ago.”have claimed that prolonged exposure to violative content, especially containing violent imagery, harms their mental health and causes post-traumatic stress.
