Facebook using artificial intelligence to help prevent live-streamed suicides

Facebook is now helping prevent people from committing suicide by tracking information on their website. They're using AI to identify who is at risk and prevent them from committing suicide.
- You want to go build the technology that enables the friends and people in the community to go reach out and help in examples like that."
- Worldwide, there is a suicide attempt every 40 seconds, according to the World Health Organization, while among one of Facebook's key demographics, those aged 15-29 years old, suicide is the second leading cause of death.
I think that this is a good way to help people from committing suicide as they'll be stopped but the technology would have to be tested properly as it may get information wrong.
