On Wednesday, Activision announced that it will be introducing real-time AI-powered voice chat moderation in the upcoming November 10 release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
The company is partnering with Modulate to implement this feature, using technology called ToxMod to identify and take action against hate speech, bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
While the industry-wide challenge of toxic online behavior isn’t unique to Call of Duty, Activision says the scale of the problem has been heightened due to the franchise’s massive player base.
ToxMod is an AI-powered voice moderation system designed to identify and act against what Activision calls “harmful language” that violates the game’s code of conduct.
On its surface, real-time voice moderation seems like a notable advancement to combat disruptive in-game behavior—especially since privacy concerns that might typically come with such a system are less prominent in a video game.
The full rollout of the moderation technology, excluding Asia, is planned to coincide with the launch of Modern Warfare III, beginning in English, with additional languages added over time.
