Facebook Currently Working On Artificial Intelligence To Flag Fake News Websites Circulating Around The Social Media

It is no surprise that Facebook has been filled with numerous false news websites that have been circulating around and people actually believe them. Now, Facebook has decided to do something about it and find ways to trace the sources of these sites to be able to delete them and stop them from spreading false malicious "news" to the users.

Facebook And Its Artificial Intelligence Team Still Working On How To Prevent The Spread Of False Information On Its Website


Despite the company's efforts to spare the social networking site from heinous contents and fake sites, it cannot be addressed right away. It can be observed that recently, Facebook has been filled with censored videos, scandals, fake websites and the like that could greatly influence the minds of its users. It cannot be denied that Facebook is one of the mostly-used social media site all over the world, and its contents have great effect on the users. Thus, Artificial Intelligence of the company has been struggling to find ways to prevent these scandalous contents in circling all around as it cannot be easily prevented.
According to Yann LeCun, the director of Facebook's Artificial Intelligence research, technology could help in putting down these scandalous and fake sites with the wrong kind of content. However, it can still be a struggle for the company to prevent the spread false information on its site, since AI (Artificial Intelligence) is being used to detect words that could signal that a story may be false or simply pretentious. It has admitted to not having the perfect solutions yet but is currently working on it, slowly singling out the problems that it has encountered.

Avoidance Of False Sites Not Magic According To Facebook's Artificial Intelligence Director


Facebook's goal is now to clarify that the Artificial Intelligence cannot magically delete or prevent such sites from appearing, since it is still currently being worked on and continually studies. Nevertheless, it assures that it will be able to affect the technology and the lives of the users these days, but is still currently in the process of "perfecting" their ultimate goal. It has been criticized for spreading false information especially during the recent Presidential Elections but is currently working on it as well. Little by little, Facebook will be able to find the formula in keeping their site clean.

Motorola event next month, could be foldable phone launch

Motorola has been working on a foldable phone for months now, according to numerous leaks this year. Fortunately, it seems like we won’t have to wait too long for the device. The manufacturer has sent out press invites to a November 13 launch event, and Android Central‘s invitation includes a teaser GIF (seen below). This teaser apparently shows an old flip phone transforming into what could be the new Motorola foldable phone. This all suggests that we’ll finally see the company’s leaked RAZR foldable phone at the event. Previous leaks paint a picture of a pricey device with upper mid-range specs. The Motorola foldable phone is tipped to arrive with a Snapdragon 710 processor (no flagship chipset here), 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of storage.

As for details related to the foldable design itself, we’re apparently looking at a 6.2-inch OLED s

Cyanogen Inc. shuts down services and OS; open-source CyanogenMod project will remain

Sneaking the big news on the long holiday weekend,  Cyanogen Inc.  has announced discontinuation of the operating system and all services by December 31. Per the official statement, CyanogenMod OS and source code will remain available for the community. The ambitious startup aimed to build a better version of Android, but the software received lukewarm response because the OEMs didn’t want to ditch the Google ecosystem. And then, there were issues with partners like OnePlus who ditched the alliance immediately after the first outing with OnePlus One. The announcement was made in a very uncharacteristic and brief bog post: As part of the ongoing consolidation of Cyanogen, all services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued no later than 12/31/16. The open source project and source code will remain available for anyone who wants to build CyanogenMod personally. While surprising, the announcement isn’t shocking, really. The company had recently lai
