The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $832,449 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to Cornell University. The grant, with a performance period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will fund collaborative research to leverage conversational AI to cultivate constructive "upstander" behaviors among teens on social media to combat cyberbullying.

The project aims to develop AI technologies, including ChatGPT-3 and AI chaining, to provide personalized and empathetic guidance that encourages teens to take prosocial actions, such as confronting bullies or comforting victims, when witnessing online harassment. Researchers will first conduct empirical studies to identify successful collaborative upstanding strategies, then create and iteratively improve prototype conversational AI systems. The final system will be deployed and tested with over 800,000 teens and educators using the Social Media Testdrive learning platform. This research seeks to address the significant challenge of cyberbullying and its detrimental impacts among adolescents.
