I just want to remind everyone of a report written by the Dais at Toronto Metropolitan University. In that report, they showed that 72% of the LGBT community was exposed to online violence and that 27% of those people were personally attacked. The statistics are still very high.
Artificial intelligence has greatly contributed to increasing these percentages, as algorithms strongly foster engagement on those platforms. What we need are policies aimed at countering discrimination and promoting transparency when it comes to moderation on those platforms.
Today, we know that artificial intelligence is also being used to moderate comments on these platforms. The problem is that AI doesn't always recognize online violence or hate. Artificial intelligence doesn't recognize nuances.
Greater transparency and policy development to address online violence are needed. We're willing to work with everyone to create those laws.
