An AI-Assisted Firewall for Cognitive Integrity.
- Problem Statement: Address the issue of cognitive manipulation and the algorithmic promotion of toxicity in social media and other digital platforms.
- Tool Utilization: Employ TruLens-Eval for real-time evaluation of content and TruLens-Explain to provide insight into why certain content is deemed manipulative or toxic. Use TruEra for fine-tuning and ensuring the model performs at its peak capabilities.
- Technical Feasibility: Create a browser extension or app that integrates with social media platforms to provide real-time filtering and explanations.
- Unique Features: The system will include a user-customizable dashboard to set personal filters for what kinds of content they wish to be shielded from.
- Gap Analysis: There is a lack of tools aimed specifically at protecting users from manipulative or emotionally charged content.
- Transparency Factor: TruLens-Explain will provide users with the rationale behind the filtering decisions, offering transparency and control.
- Real-world Relevance: The pervasive influence of toxic and manipulative content is a pressing issue in today's digital landscape.
- Tool Efficacy: The project aims to fully utilize TruLens and TruEra for real-time evaluation and fine-tuning.
- Performance Metrics: Success would be evaluated based on user satisfaction and the ability to accurately filter and explain problematic content in real-time.
