British Interior Ministry announced a new software tool that uses artificial intelligence to automatically detect terrorist propaganda on the platform online. The British government plans to distribute the software to smaller companies to more broadly address the issue of extremist content being spread by terrorists and their supporters. The Interior Ministry said in a statement: Tests show that this new tool can automatically detect 94% of the publicity, with an accuracy of 99.995%.
It has a very high degree of accuracy, for example, if it analyzes a million randomly selected videos, only 60 require additional manual review. The tool can be used on any platform and integrated into the upload process so that most videos stop before they reach the Internet.
The software was developed by the Ministry of the Interior in collaboration with ASI Data Science. It uses advanced machine learning to analyze the audio and video data of content uploaded to the web and determine if it can be advertised by ISIS. The technology is similar to the technology already employed by major technology companies, and government-developed software and small companies without resources will be able to stop the publicity.
The Home Secretary said the purpose of these videos is to incite violence in our communities, to recruit people for their careers and to try to spread fear in our society. We know that automated technologies like this can seriously disrupt terrorist behavior and prevent people from reaching these horrible images.
