Activision Blizzard Develops AI to Combat Inappropriate Online Behavior

Activision Blizzard has enlisted the support of Anima Anandkumara, Senior director of AI research at NVIDIA and Professor of Computer Engineering at the California Institute of Technology, as well as Professor of political science and computerized social sciences Michael Alvarez to create an AI capable of detecting inappropriate behavior on the network and dealing with it.

The publisher is going to create a healthy community in Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and his other games, so he is not in a hurry with the results.

The project is expected to be in development for at least two years.

AI will study players' interactions with each other, as well as the language they use and biases to find ways to prevent destructive behavior.

Earlier, a similar project was presented by Riot Games and Ubisoft. Companies are creating a system based on neural network technology that will monitor user behavior and take action.
