Alphabet and GLAAD Are Using AI to Create An Inclusive Space for LGBTQ People

The person who uploads a particular video to, say, YouTube doesn't even need much of a following in order for the video to garner enough attention to be shared over and over and attract people to leave so many comments (both negative and positive) that one person cannot simply sift through them fast enough. Last May, this happened to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, also known as GLAAD. The organization posted a video of actress Debra Messing accepting GLAAD's Excellence in Media Award for her work in helping push an agenda for equality in the film and television industry. In her speech, Messing pushed for the Trump administration to "do right" by the LGBTQ community by removing certain staff members and focusing on laws that reflect equality. After posting the video on its YouTube channel, GLAAD received an outpouring of comments from people who had something negative to say about Messing and her speech.
