No it's not. Another black box for companies to hide behind.

One of the best moderation bots out there uses a baysian approach to predict malicious changes to wiki edits.

How is AI more of a black box than a human moderator?

You’re right. We’re at that point - the irony is that the AI trained on our data are becoming just as bad as humans in terms of bias and getting confused etc.

Regardless - they’re still quite green in the grand scheme of things and lack transparency or ability to dynamically shift at their core.

Won’t take long to correct but for now, humans are still much better as crappy as they are.
