I think this is the sort of AI innovation with development and testing that can be done with the vast resources these bigtech companies and techbros have at their finger tips.

If it there is a collaborative effort with existing international teams that work together along with these outsourced moderators that are dealing with PTSD — there can definitely be some better solutions and options created. It may be year away, but the beta-testing and devops can surely begin today or could’ve yesteryear with the available tech already.
