A Wellbeing Quality Index Tracker using AI to trace pathogenic rhetoric on social media as a predictor for self or community harm

Project Description
With the heightened exposure to doom-scrolling, there is an increase in the generation of and exposure to neurotoxic noise. Nevertheless, there is an increased desire to cancel generated noise and a longing for detoxification. In this project, neurotoxic noise is reframed as an indicator of our youth’s well-being. Watershed is an AI model built to trace pathogenic rhetoric on social media as a predictor for self or community harm. Meant to be utilized by government agencies, it picks up publicly available signals, and analyzes them to inform current and future interventions, as well as promote inter-agency cooperation.
