A new Israeli development by Holocaust survivors' grandchildren uses generative artificial intelligence to combat antisemitism and Holocaust denial by automatically creating draft posts to rebut the claims, without requiring human intervention.

"Savee, a Chrome add-on, analyzes texts and simultaneously collects counterfacts from a validated database. Then, the tool summarizing these facts in order to phrase an accurate facts-based response," the group said in a statement on its website.

Savee's databases are exclusively reliable, such as the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Israel and anyone can install the Chrome extension on their browser to start using it
"We're not trying to convince radical antisemites who are a lost cause, filled with hatred and bigotry; we're targeting internet users exposed to antisemitic content who are not themselves antisemites and lack a firm stance on the issue," Ofer Nidam, a third generation to a survivor and one of the developers said. "This is where the battle for truth really matters, and it's the true goal of technology, which is why we prioritize substantive discourse. We're not here to 'debate,' but to persuade."
The potential of this technology extends far beyond combating anti-Semitism, as it can be trained to spread truth and debunk falsehoods on any topic.
"In the backend – once activated, Savee sends the highlighted text to a Botify system, which converts the text into mathematical representation in order to analyze it. The system then connects to a preverified database, and looks for the most relevant data for the specific text in question. Lastly, the system prompts chat-GPT to phrase a summarized answer based solely on the facts found in the database," the company explains on its website. "Once the user has downloaded the add-on, all the user has to do in order to operate Savee is to highlight the text, right-click and the tool will offer him an answer within seconds, directly to the comment's text box. The user can then send the answer as is or edit it as desired."
