I think I am for this use of AI. Specifically for image moderation, not really community moderation. Yes, it would be subject to whatever bias they want, but they already moderate with a bias.
And frankly, seeing the mod abuse that goes on in many communities, having AI moderators helping with text moderation would be nice too. At least they’d be more consistent.

I agree. AI could be good for first line of defense specifically for sorting our traumatizing gore and the like.
For normal moderation I think it’s only useful in the same way as spell check. Second set or eyes but human makes the final call.
