Fighting Cyberbullying with AI

Cyberbullying has many people rallying in opposition, but it’s notoriously difficult to fight. One company, Identity Guard, is helping to combat this critical issue. To monitor for and promote adult intervention on cyberbullying across social platforms like Tumblr, Identity Guard leverages IBM Watson’s natural language processing and natural language classification to help extract, filter, understand and categorize the content of their user’s social media feeds. If potential threatening material is identified, parents are sent resources on how to intervene and alleviate the situation. As one component of a multi-pronged cyberbullying detection service, IBM Watson is helping companies like Identity Guard protect kids while giving them space to explore and express themselves online.
