Just a few weeks ago, Instagram rolled out another, more serious, feature. It’s now using artificial intelligence to root out bullying in photos and captions.
The new tech gives the ‘gram a better handle on in-app bullying. Artificial intelligence will assist in the effort to detect bullying on the platform, stepping in with machine learning where human detection often fails.
