LONDON - Facebook on Tuesday teamed up with the London police to help its artificial intelligence tools track livestreams of terror attacks such as the New Zealand mosque massacre.

New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern and other world leaders in May launched a"Christchurch Call to Action" against online extremism - a campaign Facebook and other major platforms quickly joined later that month. MACHINE LEARNING London's Metropolitan Police said the initiative will see it start providing Facebook in October with footage of training by its forearms command unit. The videos will be captured on body cameras provided by Facebook that officers wear during exercises.

The London police said its footage will be combined with video Facebook is already using from law enforcement agencies in the United States. 'CRISIS INTERVENTION' The speed with which the videos spread and Facebook's initial inability to track them all down redoubled public and government scrutiny of the world's biggest social media company.
