A positive use of artificial intelligence. The Facebook-owned Instagram has announced it was rolling out a feature that will notify users when their captions on a photo or video may be considered offensive, & gives them a “chance to pause & reconsider their words before posting.”
Here’s what Insta said:
As part of our long-term commitment to lead the fight against online bullying, we’ve developed and tested AI that can recognize different forms of bullying on Instagram. Earlier this year, we launched a feature that notifies people when their comments may be considered offensive before they’re posted. Results have been promising, and we’ve found that these types of nudges can encourage people to reconsider their words when given a chance.
