Learning objectives
By the end of this exercise, you will be able to:
- Apply AI-assisted comment moderation to a set of test comments
- Apply AI classification to organize content by topic or type
- Evaluate where AI moderation and classification calls need human review
Before you begin
You will need a live site or local environment with a connected AI provider, plus a handful of test comments on a post. A mix of genuine, spam-like, and borderline comments works best.
Moderating with AI
Enable AI-assisted comment moderation and run it against your test comments. Compare its flags against your own judgment: where do you agree, and where would you have moderated differently?

Classifying content
Use AI classification on a small set of posts or comments to sort them by topic or type. Check a few classifications by hand to see how consistently the tool applies its own categories.
💡 Why this matters for you: Moderation and classification decisions affect what other people see. Practicing on low-stakes test content now means you will already know where AI is reliable and where you need to double-check before turning it loose on your live site.
What you’ll have when you’re done: a moderated and classified set of test comments, with notes on any calls you overrode and why.
✅ Check your understanding
- Where did AI moderation disagree with your own judgment, and which of you was right?
- What would make you trust AI classification enough to stop spot-checking it by hand?
