YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFacebook is creating an algorithm to recognize signs of possible suicide. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you how it will work. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Facebook has unveiled new tools to help prevent suicides, pointing out that they happen every 40 seconds worldwide and are the second leading cause of death for young people. While it already has self-harm prevention features, they rely on users to spot and report friends' problematic posts. Now, the company is testing AI tech that can detect comments that are "likely to include thoughts of suicide." They can then be checked by the company's Community Operations teams, opening up a new way for troubled users to get help.
Facebook's AI is also making it easier for users to help friends in trouble. Using pattern recognition, it will check posts and then, if needed, make "suicide or self injury" reporting options more prominent. The AI detection and reporting options, whether aided by friends or Facebook employees, are running as a "limited test" in the US for now, however.”
