While this may be useful when applied to bedsheets or kitchen appliances, applying AI to book reviews—without human oversight—is proving to be deeply problematic. We found that AI-generated reviews are promoting books that…

Executive Summary Platforms are still failing to take action on antisemitic hate reported through regular channels available to users. Researchers at the ADL Center for Technology and Society (CTS) tested how well five major platforms enforced their policies against hateful content in two areas: antisemitic conspiracy theories and the term “Zionist” used as a slur.

The regime has embedded anti-Jewish hatred into its core identity and translated it into policy, propaganda and violence. Persecution…

Larijani was revered by his admirers because he combined military service in the Iran-Iraq war with theological and intellectual…

We have long expressed deep concern over UN Special Rapporteurs who abuse their mandates, utilize antisemitic tropes, trivialize the Holocaust, and support violence against the Jewish state, to drive political agendas. While we recognize the complexity of the removal process for Special Rapporteurs and the importance of maintaining their independence, the current system has allowed for individuals whose conduct conflicts with the UN’s core values to continue serving in these influential…
