Segre proposes to use AI against hate speech

Holocaust survivor and Life Senator Liliana Segre on Wednesday said artificial intelligence could be used to prevent racial and anti-Semitic hate speech as well as any form of online discrimination as part of a proposal to be included in draft legislation on AI currently being examined by the Senate’s environment and social affairs committees.

The proposal to change article 3 of the draft law to ‘train’ algorithms against forms of online abuse was illustrated by the senator to the committee she chairs against forms of intolerance, racism and anti-Semitism which gathered on Wednesday.

The senator said she hoped the other members of the committee would sign the proposal to include the measure in the draft legislation.
