Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg often asserts that AI like its recently open-sourced image and video algorithms will substantially cut down on the amount of abuse perpetrated by millions of ill-meaning Facebook users. A concrete example of this in production is a "nearest neighbor" algorithm that's 8.5 times faster at spotting illicit photos than the previous version, which complements a system that learns a deep graph embedding of all the nodes in Facebook's Graph — the collection of data, stories, ads, and photos on the network — to find abusive accounts and pages that might be related to each other.
