This entry will focus on the efforts, technology, and achievements of the Bigo Live app.

Since 2016, Bigo Live – a live-streaming app, providing real-time user-generated content – has aimed to unite global communities. Targeting a Gen-Z and Millennial audience in >150 countries, users can share life moments and showcase talents, in real time, facilitating an environment of camaraderie, authentic connections, and potential income. Fans show support by sending real-time, virtual gifts, which can be converted into real money, allowing content creators to earn an income through content production – providing much-needed economic support during a pandemic.

Integrated into the app is a sophisticated Content Management System, powered by AI. This technology provides users with a safe, trusted online platform environment, by:

• Automatically reviewing over 300 million data pockets (images, videos, text) – detecting undesirable feeds (e.g. gambling) with 99.5% accuracy and removing within 60 seconds.
• Processing >300 million images, human-input review >1million images, and >60,000 pieces of negative content daily.
• Housing >200,000 undesirable keywords in our negative keyword library; AI automatically detects, issuing penalties to offenders.
• The AI operates in 20 different languages, including major languages like Spanish and French, to lesser-spoken languages like Urdu and Tamil.
