Facebook is working on a new AI to detect offensive material in live videos as part of its growing reliance on AI to monitor its content . The company has had issues with content moderation , making its current reliance on user reports inefficient . Facebook has historically relied mostly on users to report offensive posts, which are then checked by Facebook employees against company “community standards.” The new algorithm will detect nudity , violence or other offensive material such as extremist content , which has already been the focus of the company ’s AI tool development . Facebook is also using automation to process the millions of reports it gets each day to filter duplicates , and aims to use AI to filter out fake news such as the material spread before the US election .
