Artificial intelligence filter blocks news -- but not smut

2000-06-20 Thread Declan McCullagh



Some pornographic images BAIR approved as OK and a Perl test-script:

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,36923,00.html

Smut Filter Blocks All But Smut
by Declan McCullagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

3:00 a.m. Jun. 20, 2000 PDT
When Exotrope Inc. introduced its BAIR smut-blocking
software last year, everyone seemed wowed by the company's
claims of intelligent filtering.

New York Governor George Pataki applauded Exotrope's
"state-of-the-art technology," Tucows Network gave BAIR five
stars, and PC Magazine handed the program a coveted editor's
choice award.

But an investigation by Wired News shows that BAIR's
"artificial intelligence" does not work as advertised.

In tests of hundreds of images, BAIR incorrectly blocked
dozens of photographs including portraits, landscapes, animals,
and street scenes. It banned readers from viewing news
photos at time.com and newsweek.com, but rated images of
oral sex, group sex, and masturbation as acceptable for
youngsters.

Company representatives say they can't explain the program's
seemingly random behavior.

"I agree with you. There's something wrong," says Dave Epler,
Exotrope operations manager. "That's not the way our image
server is supposed to be working."

Exotrope, a privately held firm based in Elmira, New York,
claims to have developed "the industry's most advanced
software system" for intelligently blocking sexually explicit
images. BAIR stands for Basic Artificial Intelligence Routine.

Epler said BAIR's smart-filtering, introduced in March 1999, had
worked in the past. But he was unable to produce any version
of the program that performed as described.

Artificial intelligence experts say training a neural network to
work the way BAIR supposedly does would be impossible.
Anti-filtering advocates go a step further, and say Exotrope
hoodwinked journalists and politicians into believing hype about
advanced "artificial intelligence" and "active information matrix"
routines.

"I think all manufacturers of blocking software have suckered
journalists and politicians to some extent by claiming it is more
accurate than it really is," said Bennett Haselton, founder of
Peacefire.org. "This is an unusual case because we're talking
about a product with a zero percent accuracy rate."

One reason why reviewers could have been mistaken is that
Exotrope, like its competitors, has assembled a massive list of
off-limits websites.

If an image appears on one of those blacklisted sites, or if it
has words like "sex" in the filename, BAIR automatically
restricts it. It also will block access based on keywords
elsewhere on the Web page.

Wired News tested BAIR by creating a Perl program to extract
images randomly from an 87MB database of thousands of both
pornographic and non-pornographic photographs. The program
then assigned each of those images random numbers as file
names.

The random number requires BAIR to evaluate the graphic with
its "neural network" filtering to determine whether an image is
sexually explicit or not. The sex-themed images came from
Usenet newsgroups such as alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.female
and alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.male.

The results were dramatic: BAIR inexplicably blocked between
90 and 95 percent of the photographs with no regard for
whether they were sexually explicit or not. Of the ones that
were OK'd, about half were pornographic and half weren't.

BAIR incorrectly blocked photographs of Yellowstone, the
Baltimore waterfront, Snoopy, boats, sunsets, dogs,
vegetables and even a Wired News staff meeting.

It rated as acceptable for minors -- even on the most
restrictive setting -- explicit images of oral sex, anal sex,
group sex, masturbation, and ejaculation.

Exotrope officials say they plan to fix the errors within the
next month. BAIR works by funneling Web connections through
Exotrope's proxy server, which the company says is
malfunctioning.

"We're working through our image server problems as we
speak," says Exotrope's Epler. "We'll have this thing up in less
than 30 days. You caught us at a bad time. I know it works
very well. I did accuracy tests on this thing 30, 60 days ago
and it was perfect. It went south."

When asked if Exotrope has a backup copy of a working
image-recognition routine that was introduced in March 1999
and could be installed on another proxy server, Epler said he
did not. "I certainly don't know of a copy," he said.

Epler also said he could not release a copy of the
image-recognition routine that runs on the server, even under
condition of a nondisclosure agreement.

Dave Touretzky, a senior research scientist in the computer
science department at Carnegie Mellon University, doubts
Exotrope's claims.

"How do you tell the difference between a woman in a bikini in
a sailboat which is not racy and a naked woman in a sailboat?"
Touretzky asks. "The only difference is a couple of nipples and
a patch of pubic hair. You're not going to be able to find

 It seems to me this is AMPLE grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Pity the

 What about references to the mascot of MIT?

Or references to the state animal of Oregon.

Like I said.  I haven't figured out a way around tilt yet.  At least not on

Actually, if you made the cord of a certain length, with 2 extra wires,
One, an antennae, that is constantly checked to insure that it has the same
resonance frequency that it has had since boot-up, this 'wire' being a foil
sheath wrapped around the other wires, and another, using the common ground
to complete the circuit, that hooks up to a momentary normally closed
button, set either right between the 3 prongs, or right under one of the
plugs, let's say ground, you would have an even easier time.  Especially if
the plugins were recessed in a 1 inch deep, 1 inch wide hole.

Thus, splicing the cable results in a change to the resonance frequancy of
the shielding, while unpluging it sets off the button in the plug.

Yes, theoretically. However, you'd have to use some kind of truely
fancy technology to move a box off of a sea platform without jolting, 
tilting, rotating, or  accellerating above some (pretty damn small) limit. 
If I wanted to get elaborate, I  could also stick in a GPS or other receiver

and watch for changes in location or the relative strengths of the radio 
spectrum bands (is the BBC suddenly getting stronger relative to
Radio Luxemburg?). I suspect that it can be made *very* difficult to
relocate.

 You do have me on the encrypted drive, though.
 
 Good luck,

More nonsense about "defamation lawsuits"?

In a free society a person or group or company is free to give 
advice about sites to visit, restaurants to eat in, films to see or 
not see.

If a filter company is dumb enough to have filters which reject on 
the word "beaver" alone, and if customers are dumb enough to use 
these filters, so be it. In a free society there is no grounds for 
either state intervention or lawsuit.

(Remember, lawsuits hinge on "matters of law." There is no 
conceivable matter of law here.)

If I tell you should not see a movie because it stars Woody Allen, 
when, in fact, Woody Allen is not in the movie, the issue is not my 
telling you to not see the movie, but my lying about the contents. If 
I tell you "Do not eat at Joe's Diner, the food stinks", that is my 
right -- if I tell you "Do not eat at Joe's Diner, he serves dead 
alley cats in his meat loaf", then I am committing both fraud and 
defamation. (Assuming that Joe does not use felines as an ingredient 
in his cuisine, and that I knew this.)

If I declare that a web page 'contains pornography', when it does 
not, I am committing an act of fraud (lying about the contents of the 
page) and an act of defamation (stating the page owner is 
distributing pornography).

If someone were to attempt to sell a perpetual motion machine, even 
the most libertarian of folk would consider it to be inherently 
fraudulent. No contract made for such a device can be considered 
legally or morally valid, because one party CANNOT, as a matter of 
universal law, fulfill the terms of it.

Anyone is, indeed, free to give advice about what to do or not do, 
see or not see, read or not read. They are NOT free to blatantly lie 
about goods or services, especially not to the detriment of the 
provider of such services.

Point blank -- it is time the censors knew fear. Let them cower and 
quake for once. One succesful lawsuit on 'false blocking' and the 
entire censorware business would be exterminated -- no company can 
manage anything approaching reasonable accuracy. This is one of those 
very rare cases where the mechanisms of oppression can be turned on 
the oppressors for minimal risk.
