Abstract
AbstractRecent research shows that online hate-speech is on the rise in western societies, including in Norway. This submission builds on a broader 4-year research initiative on: “Violence-inducing Behavior Prevention in Social-Cyber Space of Local Communities” aimed at gaining deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding online hate as well as developing radical technological solutions (i.e., real-time artificial intelligence tool) to support authorities in their work against the vice. This paper addresses the former with a focus on the work of the police as one of several other community resilience stakeholders engaging in the fight against online hate-speech. The paper posits a socio-cultural, technological, and ethical analysis of the challenges, posed particularly in the enforcement of legislation on hate-speech (paragraph 185). Reflections are also included on the implication of the findings for AI development for community resilience against online hate speech.
