Yahoo, a major IT company, has concentrated on slander over a certain level because there is no end to slander in some of the "comment fields" where readers can write their opinions and impressions on the Internet news distribution service. In some cases, we announced that it will be hidden from the 19th.

Judgment is made automatically using AI = artificial intelligence.

Yahoo Japan has a "comment section" where readers can comment on each article on the Internet news distribution service "Yahoo! News", but since it may be slanderous or unrelated posts may be posted. In addition to human monitoring, we have been taking measures such as deleting violation comments by AI for seven years.

However, since slander slander is endless in some parts, Yahoo will introduce measures to hide the comment section for news articles where slander slander comments are concentrated above a certain level from 19th. It was decided.



The degree of slander of each comment is scored by AI, and it is automatically hidden only when the total score reaches the preset standard.

In addition, when Yahoo tried to comment on political news in connection with the lower house election announced on the 19th, "posts that are false facts, defamation, insults, etc. may violate the law." Changed to display a note such as.



Yahoo says, "We would like to verify the hidden function implemented this time and review and improve the measures based on the opinions of experts and users toward the soundness of the speech space."
