Facebook is using artificial intelligence to address one of its darkest challenges: stopping suicide broadcasts.
The company said a tool that lets machines sift through posts or videos and flag when someone may be ready to commit suicide is now available to most of its 2 billion users (availability had been limited to certain users in the United States).
The aim of the artificial intelligence program is to find and review alarming posts sooner, since time is a key factor in preventing suicide.
Facebook said that it will use pattern recognition to scan all posts and comments for certain phrases to identify whether someone needs help. Its reviewers may call first responders. It will also apply artificial intelligence to prioritise user reports of a potential suicide. The company said phrases such as “Are you ok?” or “Can I help?” can be signals that a report needs to be addressed quickly.
