Automated review uses deep learning algorithms and large volumes of annotated data to accurately detect prohibited content in videos, thumbnails, and titles. This feature analyzes content across multiple dimensions, including speech, text, and visuals, to identify various types of prohibited content, such as pornography, terrorism, and politically sensitive material. This feature is widely used for content moderation on short video platforms and in media review to improve efficiency. This topic describes how to customize automated review templates and perform automated reviews.

For large volumes of user-generated content (UGC) videos, automated video review quickly detects non-compliant content, identifies media quality issues, and significantly reduces the manual review workload.

The final moderation result of an audio or video file is determined by both the automated and manual moderation results. However, the manual moderation result always overrides the automated moderation result.
After media moderation, only audio and video files in the Normal state can be played. Audio and video files in the Flagged or Reviewing state can be played only in the ApsaraVideo VOD console or using a security IP for moderation. You cannot obtain playback addresses for these files using an API or SDK. However, any valid playback addresses that have already been exposed can still be used for playback.
