Briefings

AI tools are exacerbating online harassment against Middle Eastern women by amplifying existing harassment rates. The evidence indicates a direct correlation between the proliferation of AI-enabled tools and increased violence, though specific mechanisms and quantitative impacts remain unquantified.

Key points

• AI-enabled tools are making the proliferation of online harassment and violence against women in the Middle East worse.
• Women in the Middle East already face an above-average share of online harassment and violence.

Context

The Middle East region already experiences high rates of online harassment and violence against women. The introduction of AI tools is intensifying these conditions.

Limitations

The evidence does not specify the exact number of affected individuals, the specific types of AI tools involved, or the precise causal mechanism linking AI to increased violence. The study is limited to the observation that AI tools worsen the situation without providing quantitative data or specific case studies.
