Scientists Combat Anti-Semitism With Artificial Intelligence
KOB4 ^ | September 21, 2020 | Kristen Grieshaber

An international team of scientists said Monday it had joined forces to combat the spread of anti-Semitism online with the help of artificial intelligence.

The project Decoding Anti-Semitism includes discourse analysts, computational linguists and historians who will develop a "highly complex, AI-driven approach to identifying online anti-Semitism," the Alfred Landecker Foundation, which supports the project, said in a statement Monday.

"In order to prevent more and more users from becoming radicalized on the web, it is important to identify the real dimensions of anti-Semitism - also taking into account the implicit forms that might become more explicit over time," said Matthias Becker, a linguist and project leader from the Technical University of Berlin.

it is important to identify the real dimensions of anti-Semitism

The real dimensions are Muslims and Democrats, that's where you'll find 99.99999999% of it

You know, we all seem to take for granted that fighting anti-this or anti-that must be done, but what if some of the anti-whatever is justified?

For example, we have millions of illegal aliens pouring over our borders, and yet there are groups that are fighting “anti-hispanic racism” and what-not. Well, what if the antipathy toward these illegals is justified?

Likewise, what if Jewish people, as a group, sometimes do things that are injurious to another group. Wouldn’t that second group be justified in bearing a little bit of a grudge, and expressing their displeasure, without the world freaking out and treating it like it is some sort of evil mental disease that must be eradicated?

Certain groups get special protection, and any grievance against them is treated like an irrational state of mind, but white people are getting murdered, raped and beaten in their own countries and there is no effort to stamp out “anti-white racism”.

> “highly complex, AI-driven approach to identifying online anti-Semitism,” <

As we all know, AI can be programmed to say 1+1=3 is a true statement while 1+1=2 is false. Garbage in, garbage out.

So I suspect this AI will give Muslims a complete pass while flagging any conservative statement, even if made by a conservative Jew.

How can you blame Hispanics for our immigration problem, when our own laws incentivize illegal immigration?

Our laws still make such border crossings illegal, even if our leftwing nutbag politicians have refused to enforce them. That means that the border crossers are intentionally breaking our laws. That's how I can blame them.

I consider it a little disingenuous. We are rewarding them for coming here illegally. If we reward something, why are we surprised it is happening?

We are destroying Mexico.

I wonder if it’s “anti Semitism” or just stuff some people don’t like. I hear a lot of people get called racist / sexist / homophobic /whatever just because they have a fairly middle of the the road opinion.

You are not allowed to say anything critical of that group.
And they have hundreds of paid students online to insure it.
What was that about “To know who rules over you...?”
Slander for the true words written above will be arriving shortly.

I was wondering the same thing. This AI might not understand human context, and start banning Jackie Mason, etc.

What about anti-Americanism? Anti-Christian bigotry?

F### this. F@#$@ your algorithms. F@#$ your newfangled forms of censorship. I’d rather contend with anti-Semitism than contend with this sh!t. You have to protect users from becoming “radicalized,” do you? Like they’re imbeciles just waiting to be told what to think? F@#$ you!
