Conference Day One - 23rd March 2027

2:30 PM Case Study – Inside Patreon: Scaling AI-Assisted Content Moderation

As Patreon continues to grow its global creator community, scaling content moderation while preserving context, consistency and accountability presents increasingly complex challenges. AI offers opportunities to improve efficiency and support moderation at scale, but also raises important questions around human oversight, data protection and responsible implementation. In this session, leaders from Patreon's Legal, Policy, and Trust & Safety teams will share how they are approaching AI-assisted moderation, from navigating evolving regulatory requirements to evaluating technology solutions and managing associated risks.
• Identifying where AI can improve moderation efficiency while preserving contextual judgment, consistent enforcement and appropriate human oversight.
• Navigating the legal and operational complexities of adopting AI moderation tools, including data governance, contractual safeguards and accountability.
• Bringing Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety together early to translate evolving regulatory requirements and platform policies into practical, scalable moderation processes.
