This September 2025, I had the incredible privilege of delivering a speaking engagement in Paris on one of today’s most urgent topics — Generative AI and its role in combating hate speech in online spaces.

This experience was part of the Erasmus+ Generative AI Project, an inspiring collaboration that unites brilliant minds from Morocco, Italy, Belgium, Tunisia, France, and Jordan. Together, we explored how innovation, ethics, and technology can converge to make the digital world safer and more inclusive.

Throughout the week, our workshops created a space where young innovators, educators, and digital changemakers came together to:

• Explore AI tools and models (from open-source solutions to paid APIs) specialized in hate speech detection.
• Develop hands-on prototypes of AI-powered mobile applications designed to identify and reduce online hate.
• Test and evaluate the accuracy, usability, and social impact of these prototypes.

What truly stood out was the energy, creativity, and purpose shared by every participant. Watching these teams transform ideas into functioning prototypes showed how AI can become a force for good — when guided by ethics, empathy, and collaboration.

This journey in Paris was more than just training, it was a reminder that technology gains meaning when it serves humanity
