Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been designed to automatically detect any potential offensive and tasteless content on websites such as Facebook. However, the system did not automatically detect the New Zealand Mosque shooting video, which led to the video spreading quickly online and being seen by many people before being deleted. Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of Integrity, stated that their artificial intelligence system for detecting offensive videos is not perfect. It is most likely that the reason why this video was not detected was because the AI deals with massive amounts of content which is all similar, whereas, any shooting attacks like this are so incredibly rare that it wasn’t able to be detected immediately.
Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder compared advanced AI to nuclear weapons, and that in the global AI research race that the United States is losing their edge and that compared to other countries, they are slipping and not as dominant as they once were. Bill Gates also mentioned that he would want AI to be able to help improve medicine and health around the world.
