iSis: New British AI Technology Can Detect Islamist Content With a 99.99% Accuracy (#NewsFlash)

The UK Ministry of the Interior announced the development of a new artificial intelligence program capable of identifying the "Islamic State" (Da'ash) propaganda on the Internet with a success rate of 94%. The technology can prevent most Da'ash videos from accessing the Internet by analyzing images and sounds from the video file before the upload process, and eliminate extreme content in advance.

The tool, developed jointly by the British Ministry of the Interior and the London high-tech company ASI Data Science, will be available to all Internet platforms, although many large technology companies like Facebook ,Google and Twitter already use similar technology on their websites.

The tool was designed to prevent radical content from being uploaded to smaller platforms such as Vimeo, Telegraph and PCloud, which saw a sharp increase in Da'ash propaganda. The terrorist organization used 400 different websites to upload content last year, according to research.

The mental intelligence technology was "trained" by analyzing more than 1,000 Da'ash videos, and was able to automatically identify 94% of the propaganda at a 99.99% success rate. Moreover, if the program checks a million randomly selected videos, only 50 videos will require additional human testing, the Interior Ministry said.

ASI, which received a £ 600,000 ($ 834,000) government grant for the project, said the technology was able to "identify subtleties" in videos that show that it is propaganda, and can distinguish them from news reports that show similar videos.
