Google says its robots are better than humans at spotting extremist YouTube videos

Google has insisted that its robots are now superior to humans at identifying and blocking extremist videos, saying that they flag three in four offensive videos from YouTube before they are reported by users.

[Google] more than doubled the number of illegal videos deleted from its platform last month after it adopted artificial intelligence moderators to help police content.

"With over 400 hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute, finding and taking action on violent extremist content poses a significant challenge. But over the past month, our initial use of machine learning has more than doubled both the number of videos we've removed for violent extremism, as well as the rate at which we’ve taken this kind of content down."

...the AI, which can spot offensive content before human users flag it, identified more than 75 per cent of videos removed from YouTube last month. The company said the robot's ability to spot illegal content has "improved dramatically" and that it is now more accurate than humans at flagging videos.

Obama’s DHS declared right wing as extremists many times. The MSM worked hard to perpetuate that narrative with almost no evidence and in the face of moslem attack after attack, almost all of which were not attributed to moslems.

I’d be interested to determine their definition of extremist.

Google can take a photo you upload at their search site and match it if it is on the internet. They should be able to block images showing up in a search or better yet report images to the police and the feds for example what Bill Clinton likes to do to children let alone terrorist jihad videos.

Google is determined to be our overlords.

I hope their robots remove click-bait phony thumbnails (that never appear in the video) from youtube. They have a video about cutting down trees and the thumbnail features a nearly naked woman holding a chainsaw. The actual person in the video is someone's grandpa.
