We already employ profanity filters in multiplayer games. We also have rating systems in games that allow peers to flag toxic behavior after a game session for review. These have helped limiting the harm caused by toxic players.

Those are simple low tech solutions that could be added to videoconferencing applications.

Did someone act toxic during a meeting? Allow participants to report a toxic interaction, with an AI generated transcript + recording.

Then you can go one step further and build the future of HR playbook enforcement:

"Meeting participant #1234, you are engaging in toxic behavior and are in direct violation of the HR playbook page 113 section 9: please stop disrupting the meeting and shut the hell up to avoid disciplinary action. You have 10 seconds to comply. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...". /s

But jokes aside... Today we have great sentiment analysis capabilities. There is a subset of the English language you should never use at work. We can also detect if someone is yelling. We can flag highly offensive terms. There are ways in which we can apply technology in a sensible way to improve the work experience, to limit the harm caused by the worst types of behaviors including but not limited to violence.

We can also use technology to hold HR accountable to enforce the HR playbook.
