World Economic Forum Wants To Use AI To Automatically Censor Speech On The Internet
Daily Caller, Aug 11, 2022



The World Economic Forum (WEF) proposed a new way of censoring online content that requires a small group of experts to train artificial intelligence on identifying “misinformation” and abusive content.

The WEF published an article Wednesday outlining a plan to overcome frequent instances of “child abuse, extremism, disinformation, hate speech and fraud” online, which the organization said cannot be handled by human “trust and safety teams,” according to ActiveFence Trusty & Safety Vice President Inbal Goldberger, who authored the article. Instead, the WEF proposed an AI-driven method of moderating online content, where subject matter experts provide training sets to the AI so it can learn to recognize and flag or restrict content that human moderators would deem dangerous.

“Supplementing this smarter automated detection with human expertise to review edge cases and identify false positives and negatives and then feeding those findings back into training sets will allow us to create AI with human intelligence baked in,” Goldberger stated.

In other words, trust and safety teams can help the AI with anomalous cases, allowing it to detect nuances in content that a purely automated system might otherwise miss or misinterpret, according to Goldberger.

“A human moderator who is an expert in European white supremacy won’t necessarily be able to recognize harmful content in India or misinformation narratives in Kenya,” she explained. As time goes on and the AI practices with more learning sets, it begins to identify the kinds of content moderating teams would find offensive, reaching “near-perfect detection” at a massive scale,

Goldberger said the system would protect against “increasingly advanced actors misusing platforms in unique ways.”

Well, I guess they would be experts on ARTIFICIAL intelligence.

Oh swell... You get nicked for speech and there's not even anyone to sue.

Not much you can do about it. That danged ol AI is just fickle sometimes... So just avoid saying the stuff it hangs up on....

Isn't this the whole damn point?

  What next? I give up.

At some point - And I know this will be hard for some folks - At some point you will have to do the impossible and turn off your TV and your phone.

Fecebook already did, or something like it. THere were posts i made there and one mentioned how gas was X dollars cheaper when Trump was president. It was shadow banned--only I could see it...until i edited it to say under the previous administration and removed Trump's name. Then it posted just fine.

Other posts about COVID got that treatment, even one which was just links to two peer reviewed medical journal articles in the NIH library were slapped down as "misinformation", and that came up when they posted--a bot, and not a human did that, because a human didn't have time to read it.

What's really scary about these people is that that AI could be programmed to strip our world of any particular idea, belief, facts, you name it--or plant hideous ideas as if they were good. The media do that now, but at least there are alternatives.
