Facebook is building an artificial intelligence program that will serve as a social media assistant—kind of like Clippy, the obnoxious Microsoft Office bot, only more intelligent and invasive. A Wired profile of the head of the Facebook AI lab, Yann LeCun, says the new program will “mediate your interaction with your friends” and do things like shame you from posting pictures of illicit activities. From Wired’s profile: [Mr. LeCun] wants to build a kind of Facebook digital assistant that will, say, recognize when you’re uploading an embarrassingly candid photo of your late-night antics. In a virtual way, he explains, this assistant would tap you on the shoulder and say: “Uh, this is being posted publicly. Are you sure you want your boss and your mother to see this?”
