Uli - A machine learning tool to tackle online gender based violence

The Suno India Show

The Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) and Tattle civic tech have created Uli, a machine learning tool that can be used on certain internet browsers to limit online gender based violence or OGBV. In this episode of The Suno India Show, host Suryatapa Mukherjee spoke to Tarunima Prabhakar, the research lead and co-founder at Tattle civic tech, Cheshta Arora, a researcher at CIS studying intersections between internet culture and society, and Brindaalakshmi K, a research and advocacy professional working at the intersection of gender, sexuality, human rights and technology.

We find out what is the need for Uli that social media platforms are not fulfilling and how it helps the tool’s target audience of gender-marginalised people who face daily abuse online.
