Despite the advancements of the #MeToo movement, we are still far away from eradicating sexual harassment. Dependent on the type of incident recorded, half of women in the EU have experienced at least one form of sexual harassment. In the US, about 80% of women and 40% of men have faced it in their lifetime. Only around 10% of incidents get reported which indicates, targets do not feel safe to do so.
In this episode, I’m talking to Eleanor Manley, co-founder of Metta Space, a B2B tech solution for workplace misconduct reporting and resolution.
Some of the topics that we cover:
- Why do we need technology in general and artificial intelligence specifically to tackle sexual harassment?
- How does Metta Space collect data for their Natural Language Processing algorithms and addresse possible bias in the data? Spoiler: it involves Reddit!
- Which is more likely: being falsely accused of murder or sexual harassment?
- Different views of individuals on what constitutes sexual harassment.
- Negative impact of sexual harassment on businesses.
- Investors’ reaction to a product linked to such a sensitive issue.
