Call Of Duty using AI to listen out for hate speech during online matches
The tool, which will monitor voice chat for any bullying and harassment, will be part of Modern Warfare III - the next game in the series - when it launches in November.

Shooter video game Call Of Duty has started using AI to listen out for hate speech during online matches.
Publisher Activision said the moderation tool, which uses machine learning technology, would be able to identify discriminatory language and harassment in real time.
Machine learning is what allows AI to learn and adapt on the fly without explicit human instruction, instead using algorithms and the data it's taught with to recognise patterns.
The tool being rolled out in Call Of Duty, called ToxMod, is made by a company called Modulate.
Activision's chief technology officer Michael Vance said it would help make the game "a fun, fair and welcoming experience for all players".
Toxic voice chat has long been a problem for online video games, with women and minorities particularly targeted.
Rollout begins ahead of next game in series
Activision said its existing tools, including the ability for gamers to report others and the automatic monitoring of text chat and offensive usernames, had already seen one million accounts given communications restrictions.
Call Of Duty's code of conduct bans bullying and harassment, including insults based on race, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, culture, faith, and country of origin.
Mr Vance said ToxMod allows the company's moderation efforts to be scaled up significantly by categorising toxic behaviour based on its severity, before a human decides whether action should be taken.
Players will not be able to opt out of having the AI listen in, unless they completely disable in-game voice chat.
It has been added to Call Of Duty's Modern Warfare II and Warzone games so far, but only in the US for now.
A full rollout will begin when the next instalment, Modern Warfare III, launches on 10 November.

I played halo and cod on Xbox 360 and often in those lobbies trolls and rednecks called me the n-word. By mistake mostly. But I guess it’s like ****ing with people in a chat room when you’re a kid. You think it’s funny. Easily amused. Today I imagine it’s one of the safest places to talk ****, and CoD franchise is going to take that away from gamers? Strong sjw. Wokeism. *******ry. Just stating. As a non cod fan here who stopped playing a decade ago.

Yes, but can I still call them filthy n'wahs who are defiling Morrowind and khajiits are degenerate drug addicts? Both are now Microsoft's games, after all.
Anyways, as if AI is adequate, false positives never happened, people haven't gamed the system to get someone banned, so on and so forth.
If you can subject yourself to paying for their derivative FIFA of shooters, paying MS or Sony to use your own internet that you're also already paying for, and paying $20-30 more to look like a complete fhaggit to everyone else because it's a first person game, be subjected to being virtually executed, then you can be subjected to curse words and not throw a hissy fit for a digital nanny to hold your hand. Or just learn how to use the mute function like Procta said.
It's game where there are actual war crimes committed, but no-no words cross the line.
Mate, these are the same kind of dipschits who couldn't figure that out on Twitter and continue to act like being exposed to different view points on social media was their Vietnam.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die
If you have any problems or need advice, feel free to ask

So when AI takes over the world it’ll start by destroying all campgrounds because it’ll think campers are the worst form of humans ever.
