Facebook uses AI in fight against terrorism
In a blog post, Facebook has said that it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to find and remove terrorist content before other users see it after the platform was criticised for not doing enough to tackle extremism. Commenting on this, Homer Strong, Director of data science at Cylance - the company that revolutionised traditional antivirus with AI powered threat prevention - made the following statement: "Overall this direction is promising...
"A major issue with using humans to provide ground truth for AI is that humans are not perfect either. There needs to be processes for evaluating human judgement in parallel to machine judgement. Otherwise the AI can end up learning the subjectivities of individual reviewers, distracting the AI from learning properly.
Both the confidence and the decision of sufficiently sophisticated AI can be bypassed using adversarial learning techniques. A terrorist who is blocked by Facebook is more likely to switch to some other platform rather than bypass the AI, but Facebook can never completely remove terrorist content."
