Responsible AI Innovation for Social Impact: A Case Study in Multilingual Media Moderation

This new UNICC–NYU School of Professional Studies White Paper demonstrates how students and UNICC Product Managers collaborated to develop a multilingual AI prototype that detects misinformation and xenophobic narratives. Key insights: - A student-led team, guided by UNICC Product Managers, built an AI prototype capable of analysing text, audio, and video in six UN languages. - Ethical design wasn’t an add-on; it was built into every sprint, from bias mitigation to cultural sensitivity. - The project became a model for how academia and international organizations can jointly advance responsible AI and prepare the next generation of digital changemakers.
