Wimbledon Implements AI to Shield Players from Online Abuse

New AI-driven service monitors social media to identify and address threats and abusive comments directed at players.

The All England Club is using AI to protect players from online abuse for the first time.
The system, Threat Matrix, monitors public social media profiles and flags harmful content in 35 languages.
Players such as Emma Raducanu and Naomi Osaka have previously removed social media apps due to online harassment.
The service also involves human monitors and can escalate serious threats to law enforcement if necessary.
Players can opt into a fuller service that scans private messages for abusive content.
