Facebook admits its AI failed to flag the New Zealand terror attack livestream.

blamed users for not flagging the video more quickly, as the social media giant continued to fend off criticism for allowing the worst terror attack in New Zealand's history to be broadcast live and in full on its platform.

However, the video originated on Facebook, and the company's AI did not flag the livestream of the attacks, which claimed the lives of at least 50 people. That original footage was viewed almost 200 times while it was live, Facebook said. AI technology requires "training data," "thousands of examples of content" to learn how to detect problem speech, text, images or videos, Rosen wrote. "This approach has worked very well for areas such as nudity, terrorist propaganda and also graphic violence where there is a large number of examples we can use to train our systems."

"The ISIS problem was partially cracked because the [tech] companies infiltrated all their Telegram channels. So you could grab a video and block it before the first upload attempt. No equivalent chokepoint here," Stamos said, referring to the New Zealand attack. "The first user report on the original video came in 29 minutes after the video started, and 12 minutes after the live broadcast ended," Rosen wrote.

'Facebook admits', 'Facebook admits', 'Facebook admits' and they continue on as nothing has ever happened. Now it's Facebook users passwords!

jenbotjones Facebook is failing terribly... dump the stocks NOW!

Fakebook needs to disappear forever ASAP

Nope They wanted it to be seen. Talking point banning guns.

So much for Super Technology...

Because AI is more of a marketing gimmick than anything else, and nothing more than algorithms designed by humans, and some of them don’t know how to boil an egg. NoHateJustTruth

Facebook should be taken down I don’t even understand how people still use it after all the shit it’s done with peoples info boycottfacebook

Other platforms have had payment processors refuse to deal with them, hosts refusing to continue hosting them, all the media orgs calling for them to be shut down - over anti-semitic comments from users - yet facebook live streams a massacre and we see none of that ? why ?

FB failed to censor live-streams, awesomeness that, what was once a placed were you had the freedom to do, say, post anything, now needs censorship. I guess the first amendment doesn’t apply to ALL, only the certain few who feel the right to criticize and judge everyone.

How the hell would an AI know what was going on? The livestream was blurry.

Same time all the passwords were unprotected too on Facebook

....and yet someone in the house looks at something to buy on amazon and suddenly my feed is alive with ads for said article. Technology, eh?

FALSE. FLAG. Where are the casings? Where is the blood?

They've been failing a lot lately it seems.

So what? So we should just not get to have live streaming tech any more because of this guy? The footage looks like half the video games on the market, how was an AI supposed to flag it im real time? Should we give those up as well?

They're too busy collecting our nudies to teach their AI to spot our naked bodies to be bothered with teaching it to spot violence.

That's because it's NOT AI!

Here is what you need to realize. Facebook is all about profiting from it's platform. Anything else is just secondary. Guess what? AI doesn't have any cost for them at all as opposed to people monitoring their livestream. The cost containment is more important than anything else.

Forget Facebook already too many breeches!!! Wake up world!!!

Wouldnt it be worse if it did and they were like 'ehhh, we'll let this one slide'

Oh really? I assumed they saw it but wanted the broadcast to continue. Thank Christ for this hard hitting reporting.

Another self-serving, too late, insincere apology from FB.

Inexcusable!

Shocking news.

Facebook trending towards the next MySpace.

Facebook: Our AI failed to catch the New Zealand shooter videoFacebook says its AI failed to catch the New Zealand shooter video. The shooter livestreamed 17 minutes of the horrific attack -- which left 50 people dead -- on the site. Too busy censoring conservatives. Possibly because facebook’s AI was set up to focus on non-white profiles as potential terrorists? Psychotic lefT!
