Abstract

This study examined whether Microsoft Azure and human participants differed significantly in their judgment of controversial image content (e.g., adult and violent content). Significant differences were observed between the Azure- and participant-awarded scores on all four indexes—Adult, Racy, Gore, and Event Description. The artificial intelligence made stricter judgments than did the participants. The introduction of artificial intelligence may facilitate the efficient judgment of images by website administrators. However, the standards upheld by artificial intelligence appear to be unique and stricter than those upheld by people. In the short term, the boundary between art and pornography may remain difficult to identify. Assessing the difference in judgments between artificial and human intelligence should be a topic of continual concern.
