YouTube cuts reliance on AI moderation after incorrect takedowns

YouTube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan claimed that the platform will use more human moderators after reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) led to a rise in deletions and incorrect takedowns.

As reported by HT, YouTube asserted that the reliance on the AI moderation had led to a surge in video removals and incorrect takedowns.

The company revealed that the video-sharing platform had taken down about 11 million videos from YouTube between April and June.

Half the videos that appealed against the removal were reinstated, as against 25% earlier.
