Facebook is putting its sophisticated image recognition technology to good use. The social network is said to be developing tools that will warn parents if they’re accidentally sharing photos of their child to the world. Jay Parikh, vice president of engineering at Facebook, talks about the details of the feature at a media event held in Bloomsbury, UK on Wednesday. “If I were to upload a photo of my kids playing at the park and I accidentally had it shared with the public, this system could say: Hey wait a minute, this is a photo of your kids, normally you post this to just your family members, are you sure you want to do this?”
There’s no word yet when this will roll out but it’s said to be part of Facebook’s “10 year arc of innovation” that features improved artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms which the platform can use to filter out questionable content.
