At the recent XP Game Summit 2025 in Toronto, Dr. Ewa Antczak took the stage to address a growing concern: the emotional risks young people face in online gaming spaces. Her talk highlighted how online toxicity — including bullying, harassment, and exclusion — is eroding the safe, creative environments developers work so hard to build. As youth spend more time socializing and expressing themselves online, the mental health impact of these digital interactions is becoming impossible to ignore. To tackle this, Dr. Antczak introduced Felixa, an AI-powered behavior assessment tool she developed that helps identify and shift harmful patterns in online communities. Backed by psychology and driven by real-time data, Felixa offers a unique way to monitor, understand, and improve emotional safety online.
🌍 The global response has been remarkable. Felixa is now attracting the attention of international organizations and institutions interested in supporting healthy digital communities. This growing momentum shows just how urgent and universal the need is for tools like Felixa.
🗣️ Dr. Antczak will continue this conversation in August at the Serious Play Esports Summit in Rochester, NY, where she will speak about the psychology and technology behind safer gaming spaces.
At Core Centre, we believe that emotional well-being must extend beyond the classroom and into the digital world. Whether you’re a parent, gamer, or educator, being proactive about online safety is essential — and Felixa is here to help.
