TikTok lays off hundreds, intensifies focus on AI for moderation

- TikTok is laying off hundreds of employees worldwide, including a significant number in Malaysia, to enhance content moderation through AI. - Fewer than 500 employees in Malaysia are affected by the layoffs, primarily from the content moderation teams. - TikTok aims to strengthen its moderation model by investing $2 billion globally in trust and safety initiatives, with 80% of content violations currently being removed through AI systems. - The layoffs come as TikTok faces increased scrutiny in Malaysia due to stricter regulations and a surge in harmful online content. - ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, is reassessing regional operations and may consider further retrenchments globally in the future.
