Episode 20: The toxic content dilemma “Can AI help moderate in-game chat?” with Utopia Analytics
Show Notes

In this episode of The Mobile Gamedev Playbook, we're looking at the use of AI moderation in social gaming. 

GameRefinery analyst and podcast regular Kalle Heikkinen joins host Jon Jordan to kick off the podcast with all things social, including the emergence of social hangout areas and the rise of social features in mobile games. 

While social features create endless opportunities for games to succeed (look at Roblox!), there is also a toxic content dilemma that comes with gamers being able to communicate with one another freely. CEO and Co-Founder of Utopia Analytics, Dr Mari-Sanna Paukkeri, brings her expertise to discuss AI moderation, toxicity in gaming and the intricacies behind moderating language, images and voice. 

You can now find The Mobile Gamedev Playbook also on GameRefinery's YouTube channel.
