YouTube using AI to spot extremist videos even before they are flagged - CIOL

Google-owned YouTube has revealed that it flags more than 80 percent of the extremist videos uploaded on the website. The violent videos were flagged by its new spam-fighting artificial intelligence tools. The Google-owned company began applying machine learning algorithms to its videos in June so that it could quickly spot hateful content and flag it to human reviewers. The company wrote in a blog post, "Always used a mix of human flagging and human review together with technology" to help it spot violent content. The program introduced in June added machine learning to flag violent extremist content, which would then be reviewed by humans."
