Toxicity in Gaming Is Rampant. This Nonprofit Is Fighting Back
"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this," says the famous quote from the iconic game The Legend of Zelda. In life, it is dangerous to go it alone--and having a supportive community is critical, particularly for people experiencing mental health challenges. This memorable line of dialog inspired the name of the nonprofit Take This, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in November. The organization has been promoting mental health by combating toxicity in the gaming space for the past decade, and its reach and impact continue to grow and create positive change.
Fake News Is Rampant, Here Is How Artificial Intelligence Can Help
One of the latest collaborations between artificial intelligence and humans is further evidence of how machines and humans can create better results when working together. Artificial intelligence (AI) is now on the job to combat the spread of misinformation on the internet and social platforms thanks to the efforts of start-ups such as Logically. While AI is able to analyze the enormous amounts of info generated daily on a scale that's impossible for humans, ultimately, humans need to be part of the process of fact-checking to ensure credibility. As Lyric Jain, founder and CEO of Logically, said, toxic news travels faster than the truth. Our world desperately needs a way to discern truth from fiction in our news and public, political and economic discussions, and artificial intelligence will help us do that.
