In The Misdirected Moderation Paradox, Olivia DeRamus challenges us to reconsider how AI is being used to keep people safe online. Despite billions of dollars invested in content moderation, today's platforms often amplify misogynistic and radicalizing content while suppressing the women and survivors attempting to share their own experiences. Drawing on her work as founder and CEO of Communia, she introduces the concept of the misdirected moderation paradox and explores why current approaches continue to fall short.Through real-world examples and insights from her work with global leaders and policymakers, Olivia will present an alternative vision for online safety: an AI-enabled emotional safety algorithm trained in partnership with its community and designed to interrupt harm before moderation is required. She will explore how rethinking the role of AI can help create healthier digital spaces and more meaningful human connection.
