AI is an excuse for Facebook to keep messing up

Over the course of an accumulated 10 hours spread out over two days of hearings, Mark Zuckerberg dodged question after question by citing the power of artificial intelligence. It's not even entirely clear what Zuckerberg means by "AI" here. He repeatedly brought up how Facebook's detection systems automatically take down 99 percent of "terrorist content" before any kind of flagging. In 2017, Facebook announced that it was "experimenting" with AI to detect language that "might be advocating for terrorism" -- presumably a deep learning technique. It's not clear that deep learning is actually part of Facebook's automated system.
