This project uses artificial intelligence (AI) to guide adolescents to stand up against bullying in social media. The approach encourages teens to do this in a safe and effective manner. The rate of cyberbullying in social media among teens is worrisome, and the potential consequences of cyberbullying can be detrimental. The prosocial behaviors of bystanders can play a critical role in combating cyberbullying. Such behaviors may include confronting the bully or comforting the victim. Reversely, bystanders’ inaction and silence allow bad actors to feel less inhibited and may result in a downward spiral of increasing aggression on social media. Using the latest AI technologies, the project aims to achieve human-AI collaborative upstanding. These AI technologies may include Chat GPT-3, AI chaining, and other approaches. Using these AI technologies, the project will provide personalized and empathetic guidance and result in the development of prosocial bystander behaviors by teens using social media.The investigators will first conduct empirical studies to identify successful collaborative upstanding strategies. These strategies will enable teens to encourage each other to stand up against bullies online. Investigators will also identify ways teens may fail in this process. Next, investigators will create a set of AI conversational agents and implement the identified successful conversational strategies. The system developed will go through an iterative prototype design process. Then investigators will perform an evaluation and improvement process to the prototype. Finally, the investigators will deploy and test the best performing conversational AI system. The project will test with youth the conversational AI using Social Media TestDrive. This is an online learning platform used by over 800,000 teens and educators in the United States.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目使用人工智能（AI）来指导青少年反对社交媒体中的欺凌行为。该方法鼓励青少年以安全有效的方式进行此操作。青少年社交媒体中的网络欺凌率不利，可以确定网络欺凌的潜在后果。旁观者的亲社会行为可以在对抗网络欺凌中发挥关键作用。这种行为可能包括面对欺负者或安慰受害者。相反，旁观者的无所作为和沉默使不良行为者的抑制作用较小，并可能导致在社交媒体上侵略的下降。该项目使用最新的AI技术，旨在实现Human-AI合作的正直。这些AI技术可能包括CHAT GPT-3，AI链接和其他方法。使用这些AI技术，该项目将提供个性化和同情心的指导，并通过使用社交媒体进行青少年的亲社会旁观者行为的发展。研究人员将首先进行经验研究以确定成功的协作式杰出策略。这些策略将使青少年能够鼓励彼此在线反对欺凌者。调查人员还将确定青少年在此过程中可能失败的方式。接下来，调查人员将创建一组AI对话代理，并实施已确定的成功对话策略。开发的系统将通过迭代原型设计过程。然后，研究人员将对原型进行评估和改进过程。最后，调查人员将部署和测试最佳性能的对话AI系统。该项目将使用社交媒体Testdrive与青年对话AI进行测试。这是一个在线学习平台，由美国超过800,000名青少年和教育者使用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被视为值得通过评估来获得支持。
