Introducing Temper: The AI-Powered Tool for Reducing Online Polarization
In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives, connecting us with friends, family, and the world at large. However, despite its many benefits, social media has also become a breeding ground for polarization, toxicity, and animosity. Studies have shown that online polarization can lead to anti-democratic attitudes, support for partisan violence, and legislative gridlock, ultimately harming our society and the world we live in.
At Temper, we believe that AI can be a powerful tool for promoting empathy, understanding, and healthy discourse online. Our mission is to help individuals and organizations reduce the animosity, toxicity, and polarization of social media conversations, fostering a more human and compassionate internet.
How Temper Works
Temper uses AI to analyze social media conversations and provide users with evidence-based de-escalation techniques, such as reflection, emotional validation, and dialogue training. These techniques have been shown to have measurable positive outcomes in reducing partisan animosity, but skilled human mediators are few and far between, and training average people to dialogue better at internet scale would be prohibitively expensive.
Product Demo
With Temper, individuals can easily navigate contentious topics and engage in more productive conversations. For example, if you're discussing a sensitive issue like the Israel-Palestine conflict, Temper can help you rephrase combative tweets into more collaborative ones, promoting understanding and empathy between users.
Empowering Non-Profits and Driving Positive Change
In addition to helping individual users, Temper also provides a powerful tool for non-profits looking to scalably intervene in live conversations about contentious issues and reduce partisan animosity. By using Temper, organizations focused on depolarization and peace-building can conduct large-scale interventions around critical issues, driving positive change and fostering a more compassionate online environment.
The Future of Temper
At Temper, we are committed to rigorously measuring the impact of our tool and continuously improving its effectiveness. We plan to conduct studies to evaluate the efficacy of Temper in reducing toxic content and promoting pro-social behavior online. By working with social media platforms and other stakeholders, we believe that Temper can help create a more human, empathetic, and solution-oriented internet.
