Designed Anxiety, AI Job Automation [Seo Yun's Artificial Intelligence & Human Rights Intelligence]

When a user uploads a video showing a person holding a deadly weapon, an automated system immediately flags the content for review, with an estimated 98-percent likelihood that it’s unsafe. TikTok’s content moderation system uses both artificial intelligence and human reviewers to assess videos and other content uploaded to the platform. The system uses AI to scan uploaded content and flag it for review if it appears to violate TikTok’s community guidelines or terms of service. TikTok’s community guidelines prohibit the platform from being used to promote violence, harassment, hate speech or other types of problematic content. In some cases, AI will flag content that’s actually acceptable, a phenomenon known as a “false positive.” In other cases, AI will fail to flag content that’s actually dangerous or otherwise problematic, a “false negative.” TikTok did not provide information on the accuracy rate of its AI system. Once content is flagged, human moderators review it to determine whether it violates TikTok’s guidelines. The company said it has teams of moderators around the world, fluent in local languages and knowledgeable about local laws and culture, to help ensure that content complies with TikTok’s guidelines and local regulations. TikTok said it removed more than 89 million videos from its platform between April and June for violating its community guidelines or terms of service. The company said that’s about 1 percent of all videos uploaded to TikTok during that period. The company said it also relies on users to report content they believe violates TikTok’s guidelines. Users can report content by tapping a button at the bottom of a video or by reporting it through TikTok’s support page. TikTok said it’s investing heavily in its content moderation efforts, including through the use of AI. The company said it’s also working with outside experts, such as mental health professionals, to help inform its approach to content moderation. The company’s content moderation efforts come as social media companies face growing scrutiny over their handling of violent or otherwise problematic content. Social media companies have long been criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of hate speech, harassment and other types of problematic content on their platforms. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, did not provide a breakdown of the number of moderators it employs. However, the company said it has a “large workforce” dedicated to content moderation. The company said it’s also working to increase transparency around its content moderation practices. TikTok said it’s publishing a transparency report that will provide information on the number of videos removed from its platform and the reasons they were taken down. TikTok’s transparency report will also provide information on the number of accounts suspended or permanently banned from the platform. The company said it’s also exploring other ways to increase transparency around its content moderation practices. The move comes as lawmakers and regulators around the world are calling for more transparency around social media companies’ content moderation practices. In May, U.S. President Joe Biden and other world leaders called for new regulations to address the spread of misinformation and other types of problematic content on social media. TikTok said it’s committed to working with lawmakers and regulators to address concerns around content moderation. The company said it’s also committed to providing users with more information on its content moderation practices. TikTok said it’s investing in tools and technologies to help ensure that its platform is a safe and positive experience for users.

The Semantic Cache That Made a Free LLM Quota Feel Infinite

A token allowance is usually treated as a spending budget, which is the wrong mental model for free tiers. The right model is a cache to be managed, because agent workloads repeat themselves far more…

• Token allowances for free LLM tiers are often viewed as spending budgets.
• Semantic cache can reduce token consumption by up to half in agent workflows.
• Zero-dependency character n-gram Jaccard similarity is chosen for similarity metric.
