ActiveFence Introduces: The Dawn of Explainable AI

NEW YORK, July 23, 2024 — ActiveFence, a leading technology solution for Trust and Safety intelligence, management, and content moderation, is proud to announce the launch of AI Explainability, a groundbreaking feature of its ActiveScore AI models. Explainability opens the “black box” of AI models, offering unprecedented transparency and insight into AI decision-making processes.

Explainability addresses a crucial need in the market by providing a detailed breakdown of why content, such as images or videos, is classified as violative. For example, if an image is flagged for promoting terror, Explainability will indicate the signals in the image—like the existence of logos and flags, or the presence of known terrorists—that contributed to this detection.

With Explainability, ActiveFence continues its mission to create safer and more compliant online environments. By unveiling how models decide on content violations, Explainability enables moderators to make more informed decisions by exposing the components that contribute to the assessment of risk. With Explainability, moderators make better decisions, thereby improving user trust and increasing user retention and usage. Furthermore, Explainability aids in the review process for content appeals by exposing the reason an item was flagged, ensuring compliance with online safety regulations like the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). 

Iftach Orr, Co-founder and CTO at ActiveFence: “Explainability is a game-changer in the field of AI moderation, We are excited to provide our clients with a level of transparency and understanding that has never been seen before. By revealing the inner workings of our AI models, we empower moderators to make more accurate and fair decisions, ultimately creating a safer online space for all users. “
