FACEBOOK'S artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly adept at keeping terrorist content off the social network, the company has said. Today, 99 per cent of Islamic State (IS) and Al-Qaeda-related content Facebook removes is detected by the company's AI before any user flags it, Monika Bickert, Facebook's head of global policy management, and Brian Fishman, head of counter-terrorism policy, said on Wednesday.
They said in some cases the software was able to block the content from ever being posted in the first place.
