Combating Cyberbullying With Generative AI

Cyberbullying is a pervasive global issue that threatens mental health, particularly among young people, with alarming rates of victimization. Emerging technologies like generative AI offer powerful tools to detect, prevent, and mitigate harmful online behavior, addressing this critical societal challenge. The use of machine learning and natural language processing enables early identification of offensive content, though ethical considerations and privacy concerns remain vital. Advancing AI-driven solutions to combat cyberbullying has the potential to create safer digital environments, fostering well-being and inclusivity online. These efforts not only bridge a significant research gap but also empower stakeholders to develop responsible, effective strategies against online abuse. Combating Cyberbullying with Generative AI emphasizes the creative ability of generative AI to generate innovative solutions that are tailored to the issues faced in cyberbully detection. It presents case studies and practical examples that demonstrate effective merging of generative AI in cyberbullying space, providing readers with applicable knowledge and motivation to implement these technologies in their situations. Covering topics such as creativity, intelligent systems, and social platforms, this book is an excellent resource for scholars, researchers, professionals, practitioners, and more.
