"We need technical interventions that can work at scale to prevent or make it harder for people to view and access websites and platforms that are carrying images and videos of child sexual abuse.” – Dan Sexton, Chief Technology Officer at the Internet Watch Foundation.
Episode 2 of the Protech podcast gives listeners an understanding of the machine-learning tech that is being employed in the project to place barriers in the way of those seeking to view child sexual abuse material on the internet.
It explores what went into the development of the innovative safety solution, discusses how the tech was trained to detect previously identified as well as unknown child sexual abuse imagery, and reveals how feedback from potential end users of the tool was pivotal in its design and ongoing development.
In the podcast, we hear from Jack Pursey, Co-Founder and Senior Product Manager at SafeToNet; Julia Nentzl, a Clinical & Forensic Psychologist and researcher at Charité Universite in Berlin, focusing on the prevention of child sexual abuse and exploitation; and Dan Sexton, Chief Technology Officer at the Internet Watch Foundation. All are members of the Protech project.
