Yahoo has developed an AI algorithm that it says can correctly detect up to 90 percent of abusive comments online, making it outperform other "state-of-the-art" deep-learning-based algorithms, according to a report by the algorithm's developers.

"While automatically detecting abusive language online is an important topic and task, the prior [abuse detection] has **t been very unified, thus slowing progress ... [abuse] can have a profound impact on the civility of a community or a user’s experience," the developers wrote.
