This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews Amitai Carney, co-founder of an AI project that helps Israelis and pro-Israel activists do better hasbara (public diplomacy) on social media.

The tool uses AI to help Israelis overcome language barriers and cultural gaps by optimizing their comments or posts. It customizes suggestions based on the audience, the social media platform, and the region. 

You can check out the tool here: https://app.shiuf.com

Amitai also discusses the importance of continued dialogue and engagement; and what he thinks about whether social media can be a platform for real dialogue. 

He describes a new workshop his team created for highschool students that helps them do better hasbara and supplements the online tool.
