Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg now Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Identify Terrorists
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made a plan to let artificial
intelligence (AI) software review content posted on social network.
Mark Zuckerberg also said, it would take years
of hard work for such type of algorithms to be developed, the ones that review
content and approve it on Facebook.
Errors
In Mark
Zuckerberg’s letter where he discussed the future of Facebook,
Mark Zuckerberg
communicated that it was not possible to review the billions and billions of
posts & messages that appear on the website in every day.
“The complexity of the issues we have
seen has overtake our existing processes for governing the community.” Zuckerberg
Facebook has been criticized in 2014, when one of the killers of
Fusilier Lee Rigby communicated
online about murdering a soldier, before months before attack.
Another incident, Mark Zuckerberg
highlight on the removal of video graphics related to Black Lives Matter movements. Mark Zuckerberg also quote example of the
historic ‘napalm girl’ photograph
from Vietnam, Said that these
examples show some “errors” that were present in the existing process of
letting artificial
intelligence (AI) review content.
Mark Zuckerberg claimed that Facebook is
monitoring the site and researching systems that can read texts, photographs
looks, and videos in order to anticipate in case of anything dangerous happening.
“It’s very early development now but we
have started to work on it look at some content, and it already generates about
one third of all reports to the team that reviews content. Right now, we were starting
to explore ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to tell the difference between
news and stories, about terrorism & actual terrorist propaganda.”
Personal filtering
Mark Zuckerberg
claimed that his goal was to allow the Facebook users to post generally
regarding whatever they liked or not, as long as content is within the law. After
that with help of algorithms, things could be more automated by detecting what
content has been uploaded on social media, and having it withstand
scrutiny by artificial
intelligence (AI). After this approval process, users will be
able to use filters in order to remove the types of post they did not want to
see on newsfeed.
“Where is your line on nudity? On
graphic content? On profanity? On violence? What you decide? What will be your
personal settings? for those who don’t make a decision; the default will be
whatever the majority of people in your region selected, like a referendum.
It’s worth noting that major advancement in artificial
intelligence (AI)
are required to understand text, videos and photos to judge whether they
contain hate speech, sexually explicit content, graphic violence, and more. At
our current pace of research, we hope to begin handling some of these cases in
2017, but others will not be possible for many years.”
The plan was welcomed by the Family Online Safety Institute, which is a member body of
Facebook’s own security advisory board.
