I’m currently thinking about generative AI and content moderation through the lens of freedom of thought/expression. The basic idea is that generative AI will likely be integrated into all our creative tools (e. g. word processors and image editing software) – and that that will come with the need for content moderation. We might end up in a situation that is as if a pen would be able to prevent us from drawing/writing and/or sharing the “wrong” thing (and to tell on us, if we tried).
To me this seems to be a source of a lot of power. Whoever produces and controls the moderation tools gets to decide questions like: What is the “wrong” thing? What can be written and drawn? When will moderation be active (e. g. always vs. only if we try to share our work)? What happens when a user violates the guidelines?
Now, I’m pretty much at the beginning of thinking about this topic, and I guess others went there before me. I’m looking for recommendations for articles, blog posts, books and the like, so I can catch up to where the discussion is at. Thanks!
