AN INTERVENTION ON DIGITAL SAFETY: PROTECTING WOMEN FROM ONLINE HARASSMENT AND ABUSE IN THE ERA OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

With the rise of technology and the increasing use of artificial intelligence, the issue of online harassment and abuse against women has become a major concern. This paper addresses the need for digital safety measures to protect women from such forms of violence in the era of AI. Through the analysis of current research and data, we explore the various ways in which AI is utilized in perpetrating online harassment and abuse against women and the potential consequences it can have on their well-being. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations in addressing this issue and propose solutions to promote a safer online environment for women. These solutions include stricter regulations for AI algorithms, enhanced user privacy settings, and increased awareness and education on digital safety practices. Our hope is that this paper will provide insight and guidance for policymakers, tech companies, and individuals to take action towards protecting women from online harassment and abuse in the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence. Finally, Protecting women from online harassment and abuse requires a comprehensive approach that leverages technology, advocacy, and policy reform to address the unique challenges posed by digital platforms and AI advancements.
