🚨 NEW: ADL releases groundbreaking AI Index evaluating how AI models handle antisemitism & extremism

Dr. Kelly Fishman, ADL Ohio River Valley Regional Director, breaks down the first-ever comprehensive study of how AI responds to hate:

🔍 6 major AI models tested (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama, Deepseek)
📊 2,500+ conversations analyzed across 37 categories
⚠️ Key finding: AI better at detecting anti-Jewish tropes than anti-Zionist & extremist content
🏆 Claude scored highest overall, but ALL models showed significant gaps in detecting bias and extremism

The bottom line? As billions use AI daily, we need stronger safeguards and smart regulation to prevent these tools from spreading hate.

"AI is a tool that can be used to fight hate, or it can be used to spread it...Instead of saying let's get rid of AI, we need to ask how we create regulations that make it safe," Fishman emphasizes.

Grateful for Miami University's immediate and unequivocal condemnation of the antisemitic and racist graffiti recently found in residence halls. Thank you to the administration and Dean of Students for taking swift action, prioritizing student safety, and making it clear that hate has no place on campus.

A heartfelt thank you to Hillel: Miami University and Chabad at Miami University for your unwavering support of Jewish students during this difficult time. Your message of resilience and community—reminding students they are not victims but valued members of a loving family—is exactly what's needed right now.

As we head into the holiday season and finals, let's continue to stand together against hate in all its forms. If you see something, say something. Together, we build safe and accepting communities.
