Facebook apologized for a "clearly unacceptable error" after the artificial intelligence on the social media network mislabeled a video of black men as "primates."

The Daily Mail originally posted a video to Facebook in June 2020 titled: "White man calls cops on black men at marina." The video has nearly 10 million views on Facebook.

Facebook users who viewed the video were shown an auto-generated prompt asking if they would like to "keep seeing videos about Primates," the New York Times reported.

"This was clearly an unacceptable error and we disabled the entire topic recommendation feature as soon as we realized this was happening so we could investigate the cause and prevent this from happening again," Facebook spokesperson Dani Lever said in a statement.
