A system and a method for adjusting brightness of a content are provided. The method includes: receiving a camera feed based on a visible-light; measuring a light sensor value indicating an intensity of the visible-light; detecting a translucent surface over a display screen based on capturing a plurality of visible-light parameters from the camera feed and the light sensor value; predicting a reflectance value of the translucent surface using an artificial neural network model based on the plurality of visible-light parameters and an input brightness level associated with the display screen; determining a proportionality of a change in at least one of a camera feed value and the light sensor value with respect to the input brightness level; verifying the reflectance value through a statistical function based on the determined proportionality; and determining an output brightness level for the display screen based on the reflectance value
