AI from Facebook will identify susceptible users

As reported by the BBC news service, Facebook social network has developed algorithms for artificial intelligence that are able, based on certain behavioral reactions and communication styles of people, to calculate users who are more or less inclined to suicide. In this case, the data of "suspicious" users will be sent to a special team for analysis, which will decide whether a person needs help.


AI algorithms developed in Facebook will not analyze the personal information of users. Artificial intelligence will only check the publications, photos and comments to them. The search will be conducted on several parameters like mentions of spiritual torment, pain, sadness, as well as questions from friends from a friend list, like "Are you okay?", "I'm worried about you.", "Do not be so killed" and so Further.

At the moment the project is launched only in the US in test mode. Representatives of Facebook say that they cooperate with several mental health organizations. Identified susceptible users will be able to quickly contact them through messages on the same Facebook. In addition, as the head of the security department, who works on the program,

"These measures are not just useful, but critical. If the project is successful, the company plans to create an algorithm that will identify people who are prone to suicide during online video broadcasts. "
