"We'd be looking at shadow banning, which has never been properly quantified before. We'd be looking at email suppression. So, scaling up, having a larger system is one aspect. A second is looking at more sources of bias. A third, something also that has never been done before, is using artificial intelligence to allow us to analyze bias in real time.
