By Iysabel Woodford / The GuardianArtificial intelligence (AI) programmers are developing bots that can identify digital bullying and sexual harassment. It might be 15 messages ... it could be racy photos,” said Jay Leib, chief executive of Chicago-based AI firm NexLP. The industry is a potentially fertile ground for the bots to examine — a third of female lawyers in the UK report having experienced sexual harassment. The bot uses an algorithm trained to identify potential bullying, including sexual harassment, in company documents, e-mails and chat. We have these training courses [about harassment] at Harvard and it requires the type of understanding that AI is not yet capable of,” Subirana said.
