The tech giant revealed it is now using artificial intelligence to identify posts, videos, and Facebook Live streams containing suicidal sentiments. "It will also use the technology to prioritise the order its team reviews posts," said CNN. The software, which originally rolled out in the US in March, "works by identifying phrases and other clues a user posts on the site that could suggest they are suicidal," says Reuters. If the software determines that they are, "the user will be sent resources that can help them cope - such as the information for a telephone helpline," the news agency adds. Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president for product management, said the company was beginning to roll out the software outside the United States because the tests have been successful.
