Legal Aspects of Cyberbullying and the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Prevention

Denisse Da Ponte

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Law

Abstract

Another social evil that can be distinguished is bullying, which occurs at different stages of society?s functioning and is constantly changing. However, as much as there are laws in existence that attempt to address this problem it has, and still continues to change with technology and particularly social networks. This research is primarily concerned with the legal aspects of the study of bullying with emphasis on the contemporary difficulties in managing the problem. In addition, it analyses the place of AI in enhancing the processes and approaches to counteracting and identifying bullying. This paper seeks to establish how artificial intelligence has been integrated into the current law and its relevance in the prevention of bullying as well as in the police operations. We mainly debate privacy and fairness concerns when it comes to achieving human rights compliance by applications of Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, it can be stated that the study under consideration demonstrates more opportunities for preventing and managing bullying with AI but at the same time these opportunities should be properly analyzed in terms of legal and ethical aspects to use AI adequately without offending people?s right. To sum, this research presents a way of how law and technology can be applied to bring about safer societies for all.
