Will Facebook Use Artificial Intelligence to Help Monitor Facebook Live?

Mark Zuckerberg said yes, but it will take time

Algorithms weren’t the best solution for Facebook’s Trending feature, but can they help the 3,000 people the social network plans to hire to help monitor content on Facebook Live?

During the company’s first-quarter-2017 earnings call Wednesday, Cowen & Co. analyst John Blackledge asked about whether artificial intelligence could be used over time to help monitor the social network’s livestreaming feature, and co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg replied:

The short answer is yes. AI tools over time will be able to do a better job of flagging things for the set of people who are in the community operations team so that we can prioritize what we look at.
