From the Frontlines: How Worried is ADL about AI and Hate?

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate in the United States and around the world. In this battle, a new front is quickly developing as artificial intelligence proliferates with products such as Chat GPT. There are of course many implications for this new technology about which we are hearing so much these days, but the focus of this show is how these new technologies can be abused to accelerate hate, harassment and extremism online and what we can do at this early stage to put in place safeguards. Yael Eisenstat joined the show to give us her insights on this issue. She is the Vice President for ADL’s Center for Technology and Society, which fights hate in digital spaces.
