Facebook to train AI systems using police firearms training videos

Facebook will work with law enforcement organizations to train its artificial intelligence systems to recognize videos of violent events, the company said Tuesday. The social media giant's AI systems were unable to detect live-streamed video of a mass shooting at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The effort will use body-cam footage of firearms training provided by U.S. and U.K. government and law enforcement agencies. The aim is to develop systems that can automatically detect first-person violent events without also flagging similar footage from movies and video games.

The AI training is part of a broader effort to crack down on extremism on Facebook's platforms. The company has been working to crack down on extremist material on its service, so far with mixed success. In March, it expanded its definition of prohibited content to ban U.S. white nationalist and white separatist material as well as that from international terrorist groups. It says it has banned 200 white supremacist organizations and 26 million pieces of content related to global terrorist groups like ISIS and al Qaeda.

Oh and Amazon.com devices record audio and video and are able to recognize a persons face IN THE DARK. And Amazon sells alot of security cameras for inside and outside the house which also access facial recognition. The Deep State's police state dream.

So FACEBOOK is run by Deep State operatives who probably know others creating security technology like those advanced robots that run, climb stairs etc. :/

I mentioned this before, but - - -

Let’s use some video from Dirty Harry, or High Noon, or Serpico, or Gunsmoke, . . . etc.

You will get GI (Genuine Intelligence), not AI!

The social media giant's AI systems were unable to detect live-streamed video of a mass shooting at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

It was caught about 15 minutes into the stream by human beings who are paid to monitor such things for Facebook. They cut off the rest of the broadcast.

A fully automated system to do that would have so many false positives that live-streaming on their platform would become effectively impossible. Facebook might not actually care about that as they don't seem to make any money directly from live-stream broadcasts.

I wonder what the black market price for the entire 30 minutes of camera footage might be. No doubt offers have been discreetly made to the New Zealand police.

I hope they are not using Police Academy videos for training.
