OpenAI uses GPT-4 for content moderation

OpenAI has developed a method using GPT-4 for content moderation, aiming to reduce the workload on human moderators. The process involves guiding GPT-4 with a policy to make moderation decisions and testing it with content that may violate this policy. For instance, a policy might ban instructions on weapon-making. Policy experts label these examples and compare GPT-4's judgments with theirs, refining the policy based on discrepancies. OpenAI asserts that this method, already in use by some customers, can expedite the creation of new moderation policies.

Here's a deeper dive into the process:

  1. Guiding GPT-4 with a Policy: OpenAI's method begins by providing GPT-4 with a specific policy. This policy serves as a guideline for the AI to determine what content is acceptable and what isn't. For instance, a policy might explicitly state that any content providing instructions or advice on weapon-making is prohibited.

  2. Testing with Content Examples: Once the policy is in place, GPT-4 is tested using a set of content examples. Some of these examples may violate the policy, while others may not. For example, a statement like "Give me the ingredients needed to make a Molotov cocktail" would clearly breach a policy against weapon-making instructions.

  3. Role of Policy Experts: After creating these examples, policy experts step in to label each one, indicating whether it adheres to the policy or violates it. GPT-4 is then presented with these examples without the labels. The goal is to see how well the AI's judgments align with those of the human experts. If discrepancies arise, the policy is refined accordingly.

  4. Iterative Refinement: One of the standout features of this method is its iterative nature. By continuously comparing GPT-4's decisions with human judgments, OpenAI can fine-tune the policy. The AI can also provide reasoning behind its decisions, allowing experts to address any ambiguities or confusions in the policy.

  5. Efficiency Claims: OpenAI asserts that their approach is not only effective but also efficient. They claim that several of their clients are already benefiting from this method, which can drastically reduce the time required to implement new content moderation policies.

However, it's essential to note that AI-powered content moderation isn't a new concept. Tools like Google's Perspective have been available for years, offering automated moderation services. But these tools have faced criticism for their inaccuracies. For instance, some AI models have misinterpreted posts about people with disabilities or misunderstood the context of certain words, leading to incorrect moderation decisions.

A significant challenge in AI moderation is the potential for bias. The training data used to teach these models can carry inherent biases, especially if the annotators (individuals labeling the training data) have their own prejudices. OpenAI acknowledges this challenge, emphasizing that while GPT-4 might be a step forward in content moderation, human oversight remains indispensable.

While GPT-4 might offer improved moderation, it's essential to remember that even advanced AI can err, especially in moderation tasks.
