Human vs. AI: Comparison of Online Antisemitism Experience Report
WJC’s Technology and Human Rights Institute (TecHRI) unveiled the findings from its Human vs. AI: Comparison of Online Antisemitism Experience study during the 80th Anniversary Commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The study, presented during a virtual event, examined the experiences of two Jewish individuals targeted by online hate, comparing their assessments of antisemitic content with those of generative AI systems, ChatGPT and Claude. The study highlighted both the limitations of AI in understanding contextual nuances and its potential to detect antisemitism more effectively when adequately trained.
Presenting the report at the 12th annual meeting of the Special Envoys and Coordinators Combating Antisemitism (SECCA) Forum in Krakow, TecHRI Executive Director, Yfat Barak-Cheney, explained, “When technology companies engage directly with Jewish communities it enables them to fully understand the real-world impact of online hate and misinformation. Collaboration is essential to developing tech-based solutions that can effectively mitigate risks and prevent harm. This can be done through the responsible use of AI and enforcement of already existing policies."
“Having representatives from Meta, X and TikTok in one room today underscores the commitment of these platforms to listen, learn and take actionable steps to address the challenges we face together,” she added.
