Removing child sexual abuse material from online platforms is a big job for tech companies. Google has released a new AI powered tool to help. It uses machine learning to sort flagged images to human moderators, helping them work quicker and more effectively.
Stamping out the spread of child sexual abuse material is a priority for big internet companies. But it’s also a difficult and harrowing job for those on the frontline — human moderators who have to identify and remove abusive content . That’s why Google is today releasing free AI software designed to help these individuals. Most tech solutions in this domain work by checking images and videos against a catalog of previously identified abusive material.
” “At the moment we just use purely humans to go through content and say, ‘yes,’ ‘no,” says Langford. “This will help with triaging.” The IWF is one of the largest organizations dedicated to stopping the spread of CSAM online. It’s based in the UK but funded by contributions from big international tech companies, including Google. It employs teams of human moderators to identify abuse imagery, and operates tip-lines in more than a dozen countries for internet users to report suspect material.
