Call of Duty, a shooter video game published by Activision, has started using artificial intelligence to monitor what players say during online matches in order to flag and crack down on “toxic speech” more effectively as online gaming looks poised to become the newest frontier of censorship.

Activision said recently on its blog that Call of Duty is doubling down on its fight against “hate speech” and other types of “toxic and disruptive behavior” among players in online chatrooms by enlisting the help of AI to identify and police player conduct.
