Why Facebook Will Never Fully Solve Its Problems with AI

But it will never fully work. "Proposing AI as the solution leaves a very long time period where the issue is not being addressed, during which Facebook's answer to what is being done is, 'We are working on it,'" Georgia Tech AI researcher Mark Riedl told BuzzFeed News. The algorithm hasn't been trained on enough contextual data. The AI isn't good enough, or maybe there aren't enough Burmese-speaking content moderators -- but don't worry, the tools are being worked on. AI automation also gives the company deniability: If it makes a mistake, there's no holding the software accountable.
