Google has released a free AI tool for those working to stop the online spread of child sexual abuse material. The tool sorts images and videos and prioritises content for review. A successful trial helped a moderator deal with 700% more material over today than other tech solutions that require manual reviews of content, according to Google. The Internet Watch Foundation will be carrying out a thorough testing of the tool, the organisation’s deputy CEO Fred Langford said. Such tools are a step towards identifying sex abuse material without human moderation, he added.
