The company has been exploring on using LLMs to test the most efficient way on building a moderation system. GPT-4 is equipped to understand and generate natural language, thus making fit to analyze policies and implement moderation.

After policy experts create a golden set of data, GPT-4 will read and assign labels to the same data sets. OpenAI is actively examining the discrepancies between humans and GPT-4. The process can be repeated until they are satisfied with the policy quality. As such, outputs created by AI applications still need to be under careful evaluation and monitoring from humans.
