How TrustWin Uses AI to Solve the Problem of Certainty

By Yaron Moshe, Co-Founder

Content moderation is a critical aspect of managing online communities, ensuring they remain safe, respectful, and aligned with platform policies. TrustWin, a leading content moderation platform, has introduced an innovative approach to content moderation through the use of specific content moderation custom tags. This method offers significant advantages over the traditional models employed by other companies, such as ActiveFence, which rely heavily on scores and confidence levels to moderate content. Here, we'll explore the reasons why TrustWin's tagging system is a superior solution for content moderation.

TrustWin's AI-Driven Decision Threshold

TrustWin's approach is allowing the AI to decide about the threshold for action on content. This not only reduces the workload on human moderators but also increases the accuracy of content moderation decisions. This is a leap forward from traditional models that rely on preset scores and confidence levels determined by human moderators. AI systems, with their ability to learn and adapt from vast amounts of data, can more accurately determine what content crosses the line based on context, historical data, and nuanced understanding of user behavior.

Granular Severity Supports the Right Decisions

TrustWin's system enables the creation of tags based on the severity of the content, providing a nuanced understanding of online behavior. For instance, instead of a broad "Hate" tag, TrustWin allows you to create on the fly much more specific tags such as "Hate - Willing to Conduct an Action." This granularity ensures that platforms can more precisely define what content is acceptable and what isn't, based on their unique community standards and legal obligations. By tailoring moderation actions to specific types of content, TrustWin helps platforms balance the fine line between censorship and freedom of expression more effectively than ever before.

Advantages of TrustWin's Tagging Over Scores and Confidence Levels

  1. Improved Accuracy: AI's capability to learn and adapt results in a more accurate assessment of what content violates policies. The use of specific tags, as well as your custom tags for your policies, as opposed to relying on generic scores, minimizes the risk of false positives and negatives, ensuring that only truly problematic content is flagged for review or automatically moderated.
  2. Customizable Moderation Strategies: The flexibility to define and refine tags (TrustWin's custom tags) allows platforms to develop a content moderation strategy that aligns with their values and user expectations. This adaptability is particularly crucial in responding to emerging trends or threats without overhauling the entire moderation framework.
  3. Efficient Resource Allocation: AI-driven tagging reduces the need for extensive manual review processes, allowing human moderators to focus on complex cases where nuanced judgment is required. This efficient allocation of resources ensures that moderation efforts are sustainable even as the platform scales.
  4. Adaptability to Legal and Cultural Contexts: TrustWin's system is flexible enough to accommodate the legal and cultural nuances of content moderation across different jurisdictions. Platforms can easily adjust their tags to comply with regional laws, such as the Digital Services Act (DSA) in the European Union, without compromising their overall moderation approach.
  5. Enhanced User Trust and Safety: By accurately targeting and moderating harmful content, TrustWin helps platforms maintain a safer online environment. This precision builds user trust, as community members feel more secure knowing that the platform can distinguish between harmful content and free speech effectively.
