Facebook rolls out AI to detect suicidal posts before they’re reported
Techcrunch --------- This is software to save lives. Facebook’s new “proactive detection” artificial intelligence technology will scan all posts for patterns of suicidal thoughts, and when necessary send mental health resources to the user at risk or their friends, or contact local first-responders. By using AI to flag worrisome posts to human moderators instead of waiting for user reports, Facebook can shave down how long it takes to send help. Facebook previously tested using AI to detect troubling posts and more prominently surface suicide reporting options to friends in the US. Now Facebook will scour all types of content around the world with this AI, except for in the European Union where privacy laws complicate the use of this tech.
