Meta’s moderators can’t agree on how to deal with harmful content during Israel’s war with Hamas.
The Wall Street Journal reports on Meta’s handling of the war, writing that “some teams have different views on how the rules should be applied, and to whom.”
Besides that, AI hallucinations are a big issue, too.
In a separate incident, Meta internally declared a site event—an urgent problem requiring immediate remediation—because Meta’s automated systems were mistranslating certain innocuous Arabic language references to Palestinians, including one that became “Palestinian terrorists,” another document shows.
An investigation found the problem was due to hallucinations by a machine learning system.
That’s not a new problem for Meta.
