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 percent more material over the same period of time 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.
