In response to the issue of ad placement next to inappropriate content on video sharing platforms, AI-backed Content Moderation APIs have been developed. These models analyze texts and audio streams to detect sensitive or offensive issues and return probability scores as well as severity ratings. Some of the top APIs for this purpose include AssemblyAI's Content Moderation API, Microsoft’s Azure Content Moderator, Amazon Rekognition, DeepAI’s Content Moderation API, and Hive Moderation. These APIs are used across a range of industries and platforms to protect advertisers, maintain brand reputation, increase user engagement, and ensure community safety.
