Tennis organizations use artificial intelligence to identify cyberbullies

 


Dec. 19 (UPI) — Top professional tennis organizations used artificial intelligence to find about 12,000 cyberbullying comments targeting players and officials and reported 15 highly abusive authors to authorities, they announced Thursday.

The International Tennis Federation, the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the Untied States Tennis Association launched Threat Matrix in 2023. The initiative uses artificial intelligence and human expertise to detect and analyze abuse and take action against authors.

Threat Matrix, which operates in 39 languages, went live in January.

“Abusers should be under no illusions – we will pursue criminal charges where possible, seek to ban them from access to major social media platforms and ban them from attending our events,” the tennis organizations said in a joint statement.

“By early 2025, the Threat Matrix initiative will be further expanded to include direct messaging abuse protection support for those who need it. We are realistic about the struggles we face, but are committed to doing everything we can to protect our athletes, their mental health and overall well-being from online abuse.”

Threat Matrix investigates X, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, and also monitors abuse or threats via private direct messaging.

The agency monitored nearly 2.5 million messages between January and October, checking 12,000 messages and comments on them as offensive and reporting them to social media platforms for removal of the abuse or the account from which the abuse originated.

The tennis organizations said 52 social media accounts sent 10 or more offensive messages/comments and 26 received suspensions. The remaining cases are under investigation.

The threat matrix found that “evil gamblers” were responsible for 48% of abuse. Sexist comments and sexually inappropriate content were the most common forms of abuse. The extent of abuse increased during Grand Slams.

“Only through the collective effort of players, law enforcement, gambling companies, governing bodies and the social platforms can we create change,” said Stuart Miller, senior executive director for integrity and legal affairs at the ITF.
