<p>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We published a new report today that explains how machine learning
techniques are used to assess user-generated content online such
as images, video, and audio media. It also explains what these
automated tools can—and cannot—tell us about multimedia content.
The report, <i><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cdt.org/do-you-see-what-i-see">Do You See What I
See? The Capabilities and Limitations of Automated Multimedia
Content Analysis</a></i>, is accompanied by an <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cdt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/CDT-Five-Limits-of-Automated-Multimedia-Content-Analysis.pdf">infographic</a>
that summarizes five main limitations of using these automated
tools at scale. We argue that researchers, civil society
advocates, policy-makers and others should be aware of these
limitations particularly when trying to address content moderation
issues. </p>
<p>We also have a twitter <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://twitter.com/CenDemTech/status/1395363930638364674">thread</a>
with a few highlights from the report. <br>
<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>thanks, <br>
