Research also revealed that 82 percent of consumers have read a fake review in the last year

The session also explored how AI technology can be used to help automate content moderation at scale, and what considerations are necessary for platforms looking to tackle fake content and bad actors effectively.

The event’s panel consisted of Yu-Lan Scholliers, Head of Product at Checkstep, Chris Downie, CEO & Co-Founder of Pasabi, Anoop Joshi, VP Legal & Platform Integrity of Trustpilot, and Saray Covey, Technology Partner Development at Alliance to Counter Crime Online.

As consumers increasingly turn to online shopping, it was revealed that 95 percent of consumers base their purchase decisions upon online reviews. However, research has also revealed that 82 percent of consumers have read a fake review in the last year.

Countering the proliferation of fraudulent reviews

Chris Downie, CEO and Co-Founder of Pasabi, commented: "The proliferation of fraudulent reviews significantly impacts more than £130 million in annual online transactions. While regulators, such as the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), are beginning to respond to this issue, it remains imperative for review platforms to take action to combat the challenge."

He adds, "A crucial aspect of efforts to tackle the rise of fraudulent threats involves a collaborative approach involving regulators, businesses and providers of fraud detection software to detect fake reviews and hold bad actors responsible. This will in turn help bolster consumer trust as well as business confidence.”
