From AI-generated deepfakes to coordinated social media attacks, malicious digital behavior threatens athlete well-being across all levels of competition.To combat this growing global issue, University of Notre Dame researchers led by Prof. Nitesh Chawla, Lucy Family Director for Data & AI Academic Strategy, are developing advanced machine learning algorithms designed to detect, flag, and mitigate online abuse before it causes harm.By annotating real-world data and collaborating with international governing bodies like the FIA, Notre Dame is building scalable AI defense systems to safeguard athletes and foster safer digital environments.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/FightingOnlineAbuseChapters: 00:00 Student athlete Lily Fenton shares her experience with online abuse 00:24 Online abuse extends to Formula 1 and the FIA 00:49 The rise of online harassment in professional sports 00:56 How Notre Dame is using AI to detect online abuse 01:14 FIA and Notre Dame partner to improve athlete safety 01:48 1:46 - What Would You Fight For? | Fighting to prevent online abuse using AI

Hospital-acquired infections from catheters are one of the leading causes of deadly sepsis. When catheters are inserted, the body's natural defense mechanism can trigger inflammation, releasing proteins that trap bacteria and fungi onto the device.To solve this crisis, researchers at the University of Notre Dame have engineered a groundbreaking liquid silicone coating that creates a slippery barrier, preventing pathogen buildup and allowing harmful bacteria to wash away naturally.Watch how Prof. Ana Flores-Mireles, Prof. Felipe Santiago-Tirado, and Alyssa La Bella are revolutionizing medical device safety to protect vulnerable patients from preventable infections.00:00 A personal experience with catheter infections 00:20 How catheter infections can lead to sepsis 00:38 Notre Dame research to prevent CAUTIs 00:51 How catheters cause infections 01:11 A $1 catheter modification to prevent infection 01:34 Better and safer patient care 01:46 What Would You Fight For? | Fighting to Prevent InfectionsLearn more about Notre Dame's work fighting to prevent infections: https://go.nd.edu/PreventingInfections
