The article discusses the potential of proactive content moderation, supported by AI, in improving the quality of online discourse. The researchers developed a mobile keyboard with built-in proactive content moderation and tested it on a simulated public and private communication platform. The results showed that moderation is effective regardless of design, with non-friction prompts being more effective. The system was perceived differently across public and private platforms, and can serve as a tool for education and communication support.
