AI is almost certainly an easy scapegoat here. Vastly more likely one of Facebook's tens of thousands of human moderators is sympathetic to the Vietnamese government (or just their -type- of government) and wanted to hide a viral video of a devout Marxist eating a golden steak.

It was revealed in recent news reports that Facebook has essentially handed moderation authority over to the government of Vietnam in order to avoid being blocked there, so it’s less a case of “being sympathetic to the Vietnamese government” and more a case of “actually being the Vietnamese government.”

When I use AI I consider the entire algorithm as part of it. There is a signal -- a human censor says this cannot be shown-- and then generative expansion of that signal across nodes on a network.
It doesn't matter on what machine the algorithm runs on -- wetware or cloud -- it gets incorporated into a larger, generated intelligence.
Same math.

I'm sorry, are you honestly suggesting that current state of the art AI is more complicated than a human brain?

The current state of the economy and facebook, yes.

How many neurons are in the human brain?
The AI crisis is here, and it arrived when computation was added to our market system.
I think the solution is lots of smaller AIs -- distributed social media and financial services that will prevent the big shocks these black boxes of computation seem to generate. We already have the technology -- TensorFlow is open source, the chips are available. We just have to use them in a way that expands human freedom.
Is anyone writing about the political economy of AI? I can think of Byung-Chul Han's In the Swarm, but that's more about social media sans algorithmic moderation.
