How AI can help fight cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is just as dangerous and huge a problem as regular bullying. Last year, a 12-year-old girl from Florida committed suicide by hanging herself. As the investigation of her demise found out, the reason for her taking her life was cyberstalking and cyberbullying. Two more 12-year-olds were taken into custody after the incident for spreading rumors about the victim online and for inciting her to commit suicide. While bringing many new possibilities to education, technology and Internet accessibility can become a means to harm another person, as seen in this tragic case--and, unfortunately, many others. Part of the problem is that children this young, both bullies and victims, often do not think their actions through and act hastily.
