3AI Moderator

Frames flagged with low confidence reach the AI Moderator.

The AI Moderator weighs context per frame, so news footage reads differently from gratuitous violence and art reads differently from explicit material. It resolves most flagged frames without human review.

FAQs

AI video moderation, answered

Lasso automates roughly 99.9% of moderation decisions across its four-layer pipeline, with only genuine edge cases routed to human reviewers. Each frame is scored against 50+ content categories, and uncertain frames pass to the AI Moderator before any escalation. Confidence scores accompany every decision, so your team always sees how a call was reached.

Yes. Lasso analyzes video frame by frame, so an AI-generated face swap is caught at the frame level and flagged before publication. The same per-frame analysis that surfaces nudity and violence also picks up manipulated faces. Reviewers can jump to the exact timestamp of the flagged frame for context.

Manual review forces a moderator to watch every minute of every upload, which does not scale as volume grows. Lasso analyzes frames and the transcribed audio track automatically, automating around 99.9% of decisions and sending only the unclear cases to your team. Reviewers then act with full context, including the surrounding frames, the timestamp, and the AI's reasoning.

Lasso is a platform with an API and a dashboard, so you connect your video sources through one API and configure rules in the dashboard without writing code. Frame analysis and audio transcription run through the same four-layer pipeline and feed a single review queue. You can set violence thresholds, nudity confidence levels, and custom content categories per platform.

AI video moderation uses machine learning to analyze video content for harmful material including nudity, violence, hate symbols, and more. Frames are extracted and classified automatically. The audio track is transcribed and moderated separately. Platforms use it to moderate user-generated video at scale without proportional staffing increases.

Lasso extracts frames from uploaded video automatically. Each frame is classified for harmful content. Audio is transcribed and moderated as text. Both run through four layers: ML classification, custom rules, AI Moderator review, and human escalation for edge cases.

Yes. Live streams are processed in real time as they broadcast. Frames are sampled and analyzed as they happen. Explicit content, violence, and policy violations are detected within seconds of appearing. Same content coverage as stored video.

Yes. Video moderation in Lasso covers two tracks. Frames are extracted and analyzed for visual violations. The audio track is transcribed and moderated for toxic speech, threats, hate speech, and PII. Both run through the same pipeline and the same review queue.

Live stream frames are analyzed in real time as they broadcast. Stored video is processed automatically after submission. Time to complete analysis depends on length and content density. Contact Lasso for specifications relevant to your video volume and format.
