WNBA monitoring fans, with AI, to crack down on 'hate speech' amid Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry renewal

The WNBA is utilizing new technology this season to squash out "hate speech" among its fans. 

The league announced a new initiative titled "No Space for Hate" this week ahead of the season tip-off. The campaign will include the use of AI social media monitoring tools that will help the league enforce a revised code of conduct. 

"As part of the comprehensive plan, the WNBA is rolling out an AI-powered technology solution to monitor social media activity, in partnership with players and teams, to help protect the community from online hate speech and harassment," the announcement read. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the WNBA for further clarification about how the technology will be used, but has not received a response.
