Facebook artificial intelligence spots suicidal users

Facebook has begun using artificial intelligence to identify members that may be at risk of killing themselves. The social network has developed algorithms that spot warning signs in users' posts and the comments their friends leave in response, reports Pravmir with reference to BBC.

After confirmation by Facebook's human review team, the company contacts those thought to be at risk of self-harm to suggest ways they can seek help.

A suicide helpline chief said the move was "not just helpful but critical".

The tool is being tested only in the US at present.

As reported earlier, the AI technology was firstly used to identify posts by terrorists, among other concerning content.
