Spectrum Labs teams with IMVU to use AI to identify healthy online behavior

Spectrum Labs has created natural language AI that can parse online text for toxic behavior. And now it has figured out how to identify healthy online behavior and reward it.

The Miami company has launched its first-ever Healthy Behavior AI in partnership with Together LabsIMVU, one of the world’s largest social game platforms — or, as we call them these days, a metaverse platform.

It turns out that incentivizing positive play can lead to better return on investment, said Justin Davis, CEO of Spectrum Labs, in an interview with GamesBeat.
