Title Implications of Artificial Intelligence Content Moderation on Free Speech: Regulating Automated Content Moderation Under International Human Rights Law Through A Comparative Lens
Summary This thesis is aiming to answer the two following questions of 1) does the usage of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning algorithms for removing online speech comply with Freedom of Expression under International Human Rights Law? The presumed answer for this is no, so through checking the recent developments through mostly soft law, the thesis is aiming to answer the second question of 2) how can Artificial Intelligence filters comply with Freedom of Expression under International Human Rights Law?
The methodology used in the research is relational between law and technology; it takes both a normative as well as a comparative approach. The main focus is based on defining Artificial Intelligence filters, while also looking to conduct content moderation in a more acceptable manner under International Human Rights Law while allowing self-regulation for social media platforms.
Liability regimes of Internet Service Providers are also tackled and analyzed, and through different liability regimes one can witness how it can incentivize social media platforms in using Artificial Intelligence filters.
