Every year, the global campaign organised by the Union for International Cancer Control invites people affected by cancer to share their personal experiences as part of World Cancer Day. These stories provide an important human perspective on the realities of cancer. They help build solidarity, encourage early diagnosis, and ensure the voices of patients, survivors, families and carers are heard around the world.

However, when a global campaign encourages participation at scale, the practical challenges quickly become clear. Hundreds of deeply personal stories can arrive from many different countries in a short period of time. Each submission needs to be reviewed carefully, handled with sensitivity, and prepared for publication. For a small team responsible for managing the campaign, this can create significant pressure during the peak period around World Cancer Day.

To address this challenge, the World Cancer Day team partnered with 1xINTERNET to explore how artificial intelligence could support their existing editorial workflow within Drupal.

Balancing efficiency and human oversight in AI assisted moderation

Rather than attempting to automate the process entirely, the approach focused on supporting human decision making. AI was introduced to assist moderators by helping them review incoming submissions more efficiently. This allowed the team to process stories more quickly while ensuring that personal experiences remained at the centre of the review process.

The result is a practical example of how AI can be applied responsibly. Technology is used to assist people rather than replace them, helping organisations manage growing volumes of content while maintaining appropriate oversight and care.

In this upcoming webinar we will explore the approach taken by the World Cancer Day team and the lessons it offers for other organisations facing similar challenges.

What the webinar will cover

Participants will hear about:

• The role that personal stories play in the global World Cancer Day movement
• The operational challenge of moderating hundreds of submissions from around the world
• How AI supported a human moderation process rather than replacing it
• Practical lessons for organisations considering responsible applications of AI

The session is designed for organisational leaders, communications teams, and others exploring how artificial intelligence can be introduced in a considered and practical way. Using a real global campaign as its foundation, it offers a practical example of how AI can support teams managing large volumes of user generated content.
