Meta will reportedly soon use AI for most product risk assessments instead of human reviewers


Documents seen by NPR indicate Meta is planning to automate 'up to 90 percent' of risk assessments.

In a statement to NPR, Meta said it would still tap "human expertise" to evaluate "novel and complex issues," and leave the "low-risk decisions" to AI.
