AI for Good: Addressing Hate Speech with AI-Powered Tools

Can AI help us push back against online hate?

In this special episode, we bring you highlights from a webinar hosted by the Violence Prevention Network. Rather than one interview, this episode features a panel of experts exploring how AI-powered tools can support efforts to monitor, understand, and counter hate speech online.

From large-scale dashboards tracking toxicity across platforms, to multi-agent systems assessing whether content may violate criminal law, this conversation looks at how civil society, researchers, and practitioners are using AI not to replace human judgment—but to strengthen it.

The panel discusses how AI can help detect trends, support reporting, reveal coordinated inauthentic behavior, and make the scale of online harm more visible. At the same time, they reflect on important limitations around bias, low-resource languages, platform access, explainability, and the continued need for human oversight.
