💨 Abstract

TikTok, owned by ByteDance, is laying off hundreds of employees, including a significant number in Malaysia, as part of a shift towards increased AI usage in content moderation. The majority of affected employees were in content moderation operations and were informed via email. The company aims to invest $2 billion globally in trust and safety this year and expects 80% of guideline-violating content to be removed by automated technologies.
