*Workshop Description*
With the advancement of digital technologies and gadgets, online content
is easily accessible. At the same time, harmful content also gets
spread. There are different harmful content available on different
platforms in multiple languages. The topic of harmful content is broad
and covers multiple research directions. But from the user’s aspect,
they are affected by them all. Often, it is studied individually, like
misinformation and hate speech. Research has been done on one platform,
monolingual, on a particular issue. It leads to harmful content
spreaders switching platforms and languages to reach the user base.
Harmful is not limited to social media but also news media. Spreader
shares harmful content in posts, news articles, comments, and
hyperlinks. So, there is a need to study the harmful content by
combining cross-platform, language, multimodal data and topics.
We will bring the research on harmful content under one umbrella so that
research on different topics (hate speech, misinformation,
disinformation, self-harm, offensive content, etc.) can bring some novel
methods and recommendations for users, leveraging text analysis with
image, audio, and video recognition to detect harmful content in diverse
formats. The workshop will cover the ongoing issue of war or elections
in 2025.
We believe this workshop will provide a unique opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, share latest
developments, and collaborate on addressing the challenges associated
with harmful contents spread across the Web. We expect that the workshop
will generate insights and discussions that will help advance the field
of societal artificial intelligence (AI) for the development of safer
internet. In addition to attracting high quality research contributions
to the workshop, one of the aims of the workshop is to mobilise the
researchers working on the related areas to form a community.
