[Sugar Grove, IL] – American Hindus Against Defamation (AHAD), the first Hindu organization against Hindu defamation formed in 1997, announces a cutting-edge AI-driven initiative to identify and counter Hinduphobia and Hindu hatred. Leveraging advanced algorithms developed by Tattwa.ai, AHAD has unveiled a suite of transformative applications designed to empower stakeholders in academia, journalism, and advocacy to address anti-Hindu bias effectively.
Pioneering Applications in Hinduphobia Detection
The following AI-driven tools were announced today:
- HinduHate Detector: This innovative tool evaluates published work using a multidimensional bias analysis. Its proprietary algorithm combines deep learning with over 2,000 rules.
- Academician, Journalist, and Commentator Profiles: An expansive database profiling individuals for their documented contributions to discussions on Hinduism, Hindutva, and related issues.
- 360-Degree Political View: A comprehensive graphical representation of American political candidates from a Hindu perspective, providing insights into their positions, funding, and public statements.
An X (formerly Twitter) Feed Analyzer: An advanced tool to analyze social media content for Hinduphobia patterns and misinformation will soon be available.
Analysis of "Savera" Reports Published
As part of its initiative, AHAD has already utilized the HinduHate Detector to publish a detailed analysis of reports by the " Savera" group on the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America (VHPA) and the Hindu American Foundation (HAF). This analysis shows that the authors and sponsors of the “Savera” report are highly biased. The use of linguistic nuances, the sources they have referred to, and the overall sentiment of their hatred towards Hindus and mainstream Hindu advocacy organizations should not be considered credible by any serious scholar or other stakeholder.
The profiles feature intends to provide biographical information about academicians, researchers, and journalists. The biographies will provide a context for analyzing their published work.
Empowering the Fight Against Hindu Defamation, Hindu Hatred, and Hinduphobia
"Since its inception in 1997, AHAD has been at the forefront of combating anti-Hindu defamation in all its forms. With these new AI tools, we are entering a new era of data-driven advocacy, equipping stakeholders with the insights needed to challenge biases and build a more informed dialogue," said Ajay Shah, Convenor of AHAD and the President of the World Hindu Council of America (VHPA).
AHAD invites academicians, journalists, and nonprofit organizations with a proven track record of countering Hindu hatred to collaborate with us and utilize these tools.
