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.

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?

I think what you are saying is the very definition of "disingenuous". Thieves who break into your house are rewarded with free stuff. That doesn't make them blameless. I don't believe for a second that this concept is nearly as hard for you to understand as you're pretending.
