School bullying has moved to screens, and digital platforms are looking the other way. Every day, thousands of minors suffer attacks on social networks without algorithms acting in time. The solution is not to ask for civility, but to impose multi-million dollar fines that force companies to assume their legal responsibility for the damages caused.
AI filters to moderate content in real time 🤖
Current technology allows the implementation of artificial intelligence systems that detect patterns of harassment in messages, images, and videos. These filters can analyze language, the frequency of interactions, and user reports to block harmful content in seconds. If companies applied these resources, they could reduce harassment before it causes harm. The key is to force them to invest in these systems through economic sanctions.
The algorithm that sees nothing, but bills everything 💸
The same algorithms that show you the perfect sneaker ad are incapable of detecting a repeated insult. How curious: artificial intelligence finds pizza deals in seconds, but needs a committee of sages to identify a bully. If the fines come, surely the technology will get smarter. Maybe it will even learn to read hate messages before the bill arrives.
