Facebook unveiled artificial intelligence tools and new features to prevent upsetting users after their friends or family have passed away.

The platform will introduce a new"tributes" section alongside its existing memorialization tool, which allows a profile to be transformed into a memorial for a person after they die. The new section will allow others to post messages to the profile of a deceased person in a separate tab from their timeline, preserving the timeline as it was left.

Sandberg added that legacy contacts – a person nominated by a Facebook user to take control of their profile in case of their death – will be given more controls. They will be able to moderate the posts shared to the new tributes section, change tagging settings and edit who can post or see posts on the profile.
