Israeli AI tool combats online Holocaust denial
ChatGPT-based project can analyze antisemitic posts made by Holocaust deniers on social media and present a qualified answer.

Ynet reports that a new recently launched Israeli project is now attempting to combat Holocaust denial online by giving users a way to convey fact-based information based on the generative AI engine ChatGPT.
"Hundreds of posts are being shared daily with varying levels of antisemitism and Holocaust denials on social media today," explains Ofer Nidam, an aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, and head of the SAVEE project. "They reach 7 million people a day. Almost 80% of them remain online forever," he adds.
"Although millions of people are exposed to these types of posts daily, those who usually respond to them are Jews and Israelis who encounter them. But their impact is very small because they’re not exposed to most of these posts, and even when they are, the influence of a Holocaust denier who has millions of followers is much greater than theirs."
The project began as part of a hackathon aimed at supporting and improving the quality of life of Holocaust survivors, alongside Holocaust education and memory – which was held for the third time in March.
“Our goal isn’t to convince the people who are behind the posts," Nidam says, "but to reach people who are exposed to them. A positive response that tries to highlight the causes for mistakes made so that people think twice about what they should believe," he says.
