Gaming giant uses AI to eavesdrop on players for ‘toxicity’
Developer partners with ADL to detect 'White supremacy'
Activision last week began listening in to gamer chatter using an AI program which scans conversations for “toxicity.”
The gaming giant has partnered with tech firm Modulate to develop ToxMod, a program which searches both in-game text and voice chats for “hate speech, discriminatory language, sexism, harassment, and more.” As of Wednesday, ToxMod now eavesdrops on North American players of Call of Duty: Warzone™ and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In November, the program will be rolled out for all Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III players worldwide, excluding Asia.
Over one million gaming accounts have so far had their chats restricted by Call of Duty’s “anti-toxicity team,” the company boasted in a blog post Wednesday. Offenders first receive a warning and then penalties if they re-offend.
