What content moderation work is
Content moderation for AI means reviewing text, images, or other content and judging it against clear policies, so a model can learn to flag what is harmful, unsafe, or against the rules. You apply detailed guidelines consistently, handle edge cases carefully, and your judgments become the training signal.

Be aware the work can involve reviewing sensitive content, so it suits people who can handle that professionally.
