Why artificial intelligence is still terrible at spotting violence online

But on Friday, when a suspected terrorist in New Zealand streamed live video to Facebook of a mass murder, the technology was of no help. The gruesome broadcast went on for at least 17 minutes until New Zealand police reported it to the social network. Recordings of the video and related posts about it rocketed across social media while companies tried to keep up.

Especially when it comes to speech that incites violence, context is"very important," said Daniel Lowd, an associate professor at the University of Oregon who studies artificial intelligence and machine learning.Comments may superficially sound very violent but actually be satire in protest of violence. Or they may sound benign but be identifiable as dangerous to someone with knowledge about recent news or the local culture in which they were created.

I believe there are some things that machines can perfectly do for us but not all of them. If you are interested, take a look at this article I have recently read. It is called “Is the Deep Learning and AI Bubble Bursting?” here is the link:

The gun used in NZ violence seems cleverly “camouflaged” to fool AI algorithms. This was posted on twitter and never spotted before the violent massacre. Thoughts? Yes I know the writings are supposed to be protests but I really think it’s real purpose was to throw off AI.

AI is programmed to act and react in a certain way. If the programmers are only asked to highlight 'Allahu Akbar', that is all AI catches all day. It's not the AI that is to blame, it's the programming. And that goes double for how you program those you influence. CommonSense

The multi-million dollar corporation called FACEBOOK should invest more into solving this problem, not the AI or young internet surfers.

because our fascist governments don't actually want to stop the spread of fear and hatred. peace isn't profitable as much as hatred, violence and war.

CNN is a role model for artificial intelligence.....that's all they have at CNN.

First, quit calling it intelligence. Secondy, quit assuming Social Media bosses are intelligent. Lastly, their intention is profit, and NOTHING ELSE.

You have not been able to define what are the do's and what are don'ts. No limits no boundries. No check except for more and more Guns.. Kindly dont mind. Dont shoot 👈😕

So, in other words: only media types are qualified to monopolize gruesome human antics and provide narrative. A-I isn’t ready to replace these humans just yet.

Hmm, it seems you forgot to mention the displays of violence and hate speech coming out of CNN. I hope the $250million law suite will end CNN days of a propaganda machine which has nout to do with news

Can you see a single video of a worldcup game on social media besides Fifa? Let me tell you no. Companies have necessary technology just not the computing power and investment in infrastructure

Utopia - Jan Theuninck, 2016

Your sister company cnnturk , which has been recently acquired by Demiroren Group with the aid of tremendous state bank loan, intentionally serves many falsified news and disinformation under your copyrighted trademark name. What are you going to do about it?

How is AI going to decipher the difference between fiction & non-fiction?

lol because it’s Ai. Were a couple generations away from it to not needing humans anymore.

There’s no money in it. I’m sure the technology is readily up to the task.

Hablan como si fuese un ente y solo son cuentas, se programa mal. (objetiva o subjetivamente) idea fuerza interpretacion del figurativismo o el abstracto

Because we type 'sick' when we mean excellent and use 'destroy' when we mean total success...humans are sick beings when it comes to dopeness

IA should never be allowed to make subjective decisions.

Because it protects leftist violent rhetoric and focuses on the alt right exclusively. Alter the coding to target both and you'll have stopped a large portion of the violence.

If AI is looking for violence on line, or better yet, racist bigoted violence, it needs to look no further than

Humans are obsessed with violence, it's what brought us to the top of the food chain eons ago. We generate so much media about it, that identifying legitimate acts of violence rather than theatrical violence is often times impossible without external context.

Just tell them to log into CNN and all their hate for whites and America.

Sarcasm? Which is the proof that speech should be free, no matter how horrifying it may seem... GL
