## TL;DR

AI can detect social norm violations in text and identify which norm was broken, helping with cross-cultural interactions.

## Contribution

AI can now detect and classify specific social norm violations in text.

## Key findings

- AI models can identify social norm violations in text.
- AI can distinguish the specific norm that was violated.
- This capability supports cross-cultural interactions.

## Abstract

New research demonstrates AI, in the form of natural language models, can identify social norm violations in text and correctly distinguish the specific violated norm. This shows AI’s potential to recognize tricky social faux pas and support cross-cultural interactions.
