Data Sharing

AI is the driving force behind a newly launched tool on Facebook that helps people make a direct change to the content they see in their Feed and influence the types of content that is recommended to them. When people are given the option to select Show More/Show Less on certain posts, we use AI to interpret the intent behind those actions in a nuanced way. This model is capable of taking relatively few data points and then generalising about what we do know to determine whether to prioritise or deprioritise a piece of content for a particular person.
