"Activision last week began listening in to gamer chatter using an AI program which scans conversations for “toxicity.”
The gaming giant has partnered with tech firm Modulate to develop ToxMod, a program that searches both in-game text and voice chats for “hate speech, discriminatory language, sexism, harassment, and more.” As of Wednesday, ToxMod now eavesdrops on North American players of Call of Duty: Warzone™ and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In November, the program will be rolled out for all Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III players worldwide, excluding Asia.
Over one million gaming accounts have so far had their chats restricted by Call of Duty’s “anti-toxicity team,” the company boasted in a blog post Wednesday. Offenders first receive a warning and then penalties if they re-offend.
Make this shit illegal now"
