谷歌称疫情致 YouTube 视频审核问题：被删视频可能增加

Google Says Epidemic Causes YouTube Video Review Problem: Deleted Video May Increase
网易科技讯 3 月 17 日消息，据国外媒体报道，受新冠疫情影响，谷歌在要求员工在家工作的同时，谷歌正在推动平台内容审查的自动化，以减少上班员工人数。谷歌旗下 YouTube 宣布，它将更多地依赖视频自动审查系统。

YouTube 自动审查过程，将会标记出潜在的有害内容，供人类评估和取舍。

YouTube 表示，公司平时有成千上万的人在从事视频内容的审查工作，现在由于新冠疫情，正在采取必要措施，优先考虑员工以及他们居住社区的健康安全，其中包括减少某些办公地点人员配置。

这将让 YouTube 暂时更多地依赖技术来帮助审查员完成平时的工作，但这可能会导致不合规视频的增加，以及对这类视频清除劳动量的增加。

但是 YouTube 表示，「自动化系统在不需要人类审查情况下，能够删除某些内容。因此，我们能够持续快速行动，删除不合规的内容，保护我们的生态系统，同时我们的员工健康安全也能够获得保护。」

北美、欧洲、中东和非洲的谷歌员工上周曾获通知，能够在家远程工作。但现在要求一些重要的工作只能在现场完成，包括「需要访问用户和客户安全最敏感内容或帐户数据」的工作。

必须到现场上班的员工，将会作轮班调整，减少上班人数，增加员工间隔距离。此外，谷歌还加强员工测温检查，做好卫生和清洁工作。（天门山）Netease technology news on March 17, according to foreign media reports, affected by the new crown epidemic, Google is pushing for automation of platform content review while requiring employees to work from home to reduce the number of employees at work. Google’s YouTube unit announced that it will rely more on automatic video censorship. YouTube’s automatic review process will mark potentially harmful content for human evaluation and trade-offs. YouTube said that the company usually has tens of thousands of people engaged in video content review work. Now due to the new crown epidemic, it is taking necessary measures to give priority to the health and safety of employees and the communities in which they live, including reducing the staffing of certain office locations. This will make YouTube temporarily rely more on technology to help censors finish their normal work, but this may lead to an increase in non-compliant videos and an increase in the amount of work to remove such videos. But YouTube said, “automated systems can delete certain content without human censorship. As a result, we can continue to act quickly to remove non-compliant content and protect our ecosystem while protecting the health and safety of our employees. 」 Google employees in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa were notified last week that they could work remotely from home. However, it is now required that some important work can only be done on site, including the work of “requiring access to the most sensitive content or account data for user and customer security”. Employees who must go to work on site will make shift adjustments to reduce the number of employees and increase the distance between employees. In addition, Google has also strengthened its staff’s temperature measurement and inspection to do a good job in hygiene and cleaning. (Tianmen Mountain)
