Facebook is working on software that could prevent users posting unflattering photos of themselves.
Combining image recognition and artificial intelligence, the system would be able to distinguish between drunk and sober pictures.
It would ask: "Are you sure you want your boss and your mother to see this?"
The plan was revealed by the head of Facebook's artificial intelligence research lab.
Speaking to Wired magazine, Yann LeCun said he wanted to build a Facebook digital assistant.
In the future, this assistant might also be able to help identify when someone else has uploaded a picture of a user without permission, he said.
Facebook already uses image recognition technology to help identify faces and allow users to tag them correctly.
Increasingly the firm is using the technology in conjunction with artificial intelligence software.
AI is already being used to examine overall Facebook behaviour in order to identify the right content for news feeds, Mr LeCun told Wired.
The next stage will be to analyse text in posted statuses and automatically suggest relevant hashtags

It would ask: "Are you sure you want your boss and your mother to see this?" So is anyone who is truly drunk or stoned going to reply in the negative?

I’m pretty sure the mother already knows her child is a drunken idiot.
And IF the drunken idiot even has a boss, I’m sure he knows it too.

He doesn't have a scotch to his lips, but still probably drunk just considering the odds.

I know that my posting totally nude pictures of myself here at 3:00am always get mixed reactions, actually.... they tend more towards the negative.
But I think that is because by that time, you guys are all drunk, and have lost your sense of what a really good looking naked man looks like.
