Facebook deploys AI for early signs of suicide
Please permit me to play the pessimistic man on the street: If Facebook can deploy AI to detect the early signs of suicide, why can&#x27;t they deploy AI to detect &quot;fake news&quot; or those susceptible to &quot;fake news&quot;?<p>Furthermore, &quot;cui bono&quot; (for whose benefit [0])?  What does Facebook gain from being able perform this sort of detection given it is a for-profit corporation and not a non-profit philanthropic organization?<p>An aside: I wonder if there will be accounts of similar to Dante&#x27;s <i>Inferno</i> [1], or Joseph Conrad&#x27;s <i>Heart of Darkness</i> [2] about today&#x27;s corporations in the future some day.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cui_bono" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cui_bono</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Inferno_(Dante)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Inferno_(Dante)</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Heart_of_Darkness" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Heart_of_Darkness</a>
