'Facebook artificial intelligence spots suicidal users'

  • Facebook has begun using artificial intelligence to identify members that may be at risk of killing themselves
  • A suicide helpline chief said the move was "not just helpful but critical"
  • Facebook also announced new ways to tackle suicidal behaviour on its Facebook Live broadcast tool and has partnered with several US mental health organisations to let vulnerable users contact them via its Messenger platform
This is a positive as they can spot suicidal behaviour and hopefully the individual in need.
