Facebook’s AI will understand everything you post

Facebook Notifications

Facebook has unveiled DeepText, its artificial intelligence system that can analyse thousands of posts per second across 20 languages.

The AI system will be able to identify what users are saying in posts and messages, which will help Facebook offer the “right tools” for a user.

The system will also be able to filter out malicious, hateful, or hurtful speech on the social network, along with photos that contravene Facebook’s policies.

“DeepText is already being tested on some Facebook experiences,” said Facebook.
