Jigsaw, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, recently announced plans to utilize AI models to quash purported “toxicity” online and leverage these tools to tackle “misinformation.”

In a blog post published on Medium, the company said:

“Since 2017, Jigsaw’s Perspective API has used machine learning to enable more voices to participate in online conversation, by identifying and mitigating toxicity that frequently reduces participation in online debates. This year we are expanding the scope of our work in this area to not only protect online spaces from hate and toxicity, but to enable individuals to more meaningfully participate in conversations online.”

Through exploring new avenues with AI Jigsaw adds:

“In addition to supporting more voices to be part of the conversation, we’re now expanding our work to enable every voice to be meaningfully heard. We aim to build on the existing foundation of deliberative technology, a set of tools that, in the words of Lisa Schirch, “allows a large-scale exchange of views in an iterative discussion, allowing participants to evolve in their understanding.””

Jigsaw says that they plan to release a paper that identifies “how advances in large language models (LLMs) pose new opportunities (and challenges) for deliberative tech, bridging systems and community moderation.”

Building on our past work with Perspective API, we’ll also be investing in moderation tools and bridging technology for deliberative processes and systems.

Based on our experience and research, we believe that when high quality moderation, bridging techniques and effective sensemaking work together, more individuals will participate, and participate more deeply, allowing a more complete picture of the community to emerge, alongside insights that can be acted upon.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Another day, another group of geeks playing god telling everyone what they can and cannot say.

Job 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? [26] Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I say put God’s word(KJV) into all conversation and remarks; so A I will lose it’s mind and choke on the scriptures;
    1Co_1:25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
    1Co_2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
    1Co_3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
