[Using AI, YouTube removed 18 million videos]
By Rabindra Dhungel, 29 august 2020. Recently, YouTube, with the full support of Artificial Intelligence, has started removing videos uploaded against the company’s policy.
YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, removed 11.4 million videos in the second quarter of this year (April-June). Of this, 18 million videos have been removed using AI, according to YouTube.
The company did not put any pressure on its employees working from home to remove the video. Instead, according to the company’s policy, the company succeeded in automatically removing the harmful video using AI.
The company has clarified that the videos had to be removed based on the complaints received about the videos and its own evaluation. The company had previously removed less than 9 million videos in 2019. The company estimates that more videos have been removed this year than last.
