Artificial Intelligence: On Tearing Down Troll Tyranny

Jigsaw, a subsidiary of Google, is set to launch multiple technological projects that will protect people from hate speech and online harassment. Jared Cohen, president and founder, is launching a set to fight internet trolling thru artificial intelligence known as'Conversation Al.' "I want to use the best technology we have at our disposal to begin to take on trolling and other nefarious tactics that give hostile voices disproportionate weight... [we will] do everything we can to level the playing field," confirmed Cohen. Jigsaw believes that while online speech must be moderated, online bullies should not be allowed to intimidate people and self-censor their personal opinions and views. The filter will have a 92% success rate in detecting "abusive" messages producing a false positive of only 10% of the time. The issue with the tool is the possibility of filtering well-intentioned views that may appear or resemble as harassment.
