1:13 am
posted on their platforms well now facebook has announced it will make changes to its services next week and on instagram now the company says it's always blocks hateful comments about people based on their race ethnicity or religion but it also banned any praise support or representation of white nationalism and white separatism in a statement the company says we didn't originally apply the same rationale to expressions of white nationalism and white separatism because we were thinking about broader concepts of nationalism and separatism things like american pride and separatism which are an important part of people's identity but over the past three months our conversations with members of civil society and academics who are experts in race relations around the world have confirmed that white nationalism and white separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups well using content moderators machine learning and artificial intelligence to find and remove hate speech the company says it will also start
1:14 am
directing people to resources that counter white supremacist ideology based on their searches now new zealand's prime minister just into art and has welcomed the decision but says she wants greater action internationally and the international community to press forward with the conversation about whether or not enough has been done so that no one will have to learn those lessons again. states would stand it that haitian hate speech defended the promotion of white nationalism and white racism. are you headed for asia always within the guidelines stage but usually it's positive the clarification has now been made in the way you take here so this brings up a lot of questions what about the other platforms facebook owns whatsapp well it's a i dip into our messages what about you tube and twitter anti-semitism and. islamophobia now the organization we counter hate says anti muslim speech spiked
1:15 am
after the shootings on twitter read sweets of anti muslim hate speech jumped ninety one percent in the three days after the shootings while likes increased by more than one hundred twenty five percent some people seem to think that activity is private it's not and as bad as those statistics look look at this and muslim hate speech increased eight hundred percent on twitter in the three days following the shootings now we counter hate has built a hate speech fighting machine that works to counter white supremacy on twitter it's artificial intelligence identifies hateful comments like this one replies to them and then millions of other hateful tweets each and every year and then the organization uses them to raise money for charity. it's funny a few scientists and health care professionals have written a letter to the united nations calling for an international ban on so-called killer robots which don't actually exist yet but campaigners say they're only a year or two away twenty eight countries have signed up so far but the u.s. and russia are among those resisting science and technology editor at meadowhall.
1:16 am
mention killer robots and many of us. of this a machine able to think feel and kill we have no way of knowing whether the kind of artificial general intelligence needed to create a scene tiant robot like this will ever be possible but here's what we already have sameeh autonomous machines dryers tanks aircraft robots big and small machines that can be wittman ised even programmed to find targets but the final decision of whether to take a life lies with us so-called killer robots fully autonomous weapons that can select and kill without human intervention well they don't exist. here we don't want to see killing outsourced to machines on the battlefield or in policing or in border control an obvious circumstances this is why we call for a preemptive ban on the development production and use of killer robots as soon as
1:17 am
possible we already have facial recognition technology to unlock hellfire and they could be used by a fully autonomous weapon and trying say to identify and then attack a target without a human having the final say but what if it kills the wrong person or the machine malfunctions and continues to hunt and kill long after a conflict has been resolved whose responsibility is it when a fully autonomous weapon gets it wrong so everybody's got their experience with computers not working with barns and i pads failing. and that's an inconvenience at best imagine that when you have the weapons system which is failing which is failing to turn off killer robots could be hacked and then used by your enemy forces against you and against your population and that they could be programmed to target a popular part of the population to go out there and to seek all military age males
1:18 am
you know and determine them to be legitimate targets and fire upon them. sixty one to same to people polled in twenty six countries last year oppose fully autonomous weapons twenty eight countries have signed up to a bag and take companies scientists researches and engineers and their fowls ins have over the years pledged not to knowingly create killer robots but plenty a lot of those are embracing artificial intelligence and wall fia and states like israel russia south korea and the united states are among those resisting the ban countries may agree we're all better off without killer robots but no one wants to be left behind on the battlefield. headlines for you on al-jazeera saudi arabia has temporarily released three female activists jailed for the human rights campaigns the hearing was held on wednesday
