AI puts "primate" label on Facebook video of Black men, company apologises

<p>Users who watched a video featuring Black men in altercations with White police officers on Facebook received a social media firm&#39;s prompt asking if they would like to &quot;keep seeing videos about Primates&quot;. When reported, FB apologised for the &quot;unacceptable error&quot;, and is looking into and disabling the AI-powered feature that caused it. Dated 27 June, 2020, the video was uploaded by Daily Mail, and had no relation to any primates or monkeys.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
