Robot
lives matter? YouTube removing robot fight videos for ‘animal
cruelty’

What
does dog fighting have in common with robot-to-robot combat?
According to YouTube, both violate its “community guidelines” and
amount to “animal suffering.” Are AIs finally starting to protect
their own?
YouTube
content creators are complaining that the video platform has been
haphazardly removing content in which insentient robots (as far as we
know) battle it out for the entertainment of humans.
A video explaining
the apparent algorithm glitch was posted by industrial designer Angus
Deveson and quickly shot to the top of the Reddit homepage on
Tuesday.
In
a message sent to multiple creators, including well-known robot
builder Jamison Go, YouTube said the content had been “flagged” and
deleted “upon
review” based
on its rules which prohibit videos depicting the “deliberate
infliction of animal suffering or the forcing of animals to fight.”
"I'm
not sure how it's happened, but clearly there's been no manual
review, because no person would see bits of metal and be like ‘that's
an animal,’” Deveson
said. The most likely explanation, he added, is that some algorithm
has gone “haywire.”
Whatever
the reason, the mystifying decision sparked some humor from fans of
robot combat.
The
removals were also cited as “proof
the robots are taking over,” while
some speculated that YouTube’s so-called “manual
review” might
not really exist and algorithms are making all the decisions.
