The new tools will be based on deep neural networks which will be made available to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for free of cost and other technological industries, through a new Content Safety API service which will be offered via requests. On Google’s official blog a content was posted by their lead engineering Nikola Todorovic and the Product Manager Abhi Chaudhuri that if one uses the Internet, it might be used as a means to spread any content that might exploit children sexually, which will be the worst imaginable abuse. The new Google’s AI technology will help the NGOs, service providers and other tech companies to increase the efficiency of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) detection and reduce the exposure of such content over the internet, says two engineers of Google.

Final Words

Many child sexual images are distributed over the internet every year. Children can be bullied over Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. The offenders trick the minds of the victims to perform over webcam or live streams for something delightful and then later harass them. More than 70% of the images are of the children who are below 10 years or even lesser. These children cannot do anything about it and are victimized repeatedly. Such efforts by global tech companies can help identify the offenders and put them behind the bars. Also, the victims will be identified and receive the assistance and support they need. Also, such campaigns and help will create an awareness in the society at a very large scale.
