Dating App Gives Away Algorithm Against Dick Pics
You open the messenger and suddenly a penis is emblazoned on the screen. Women in particular are repeatedly the involuntary recipients of nude photos on various platforms and in online dating apps. There are now extra websites through which you can report such incidents directly to the police. The dating app Bumble goes one step further and wants to protect its users from receiving inappropriate nudes with the help of artificial intelligence.
With artificial intelligence against nudes
The AI developed by Bumble recognizes a potential nude picture that is sent via the chat and initially displays it as a blur. Users can then decide for themselves whether they want to see the picture or not. The sender can also be reported and blocked at the same time. The artificial intelligence is constantly fed with new material so that it can better distinguish between genitals and other naked body parts.
According to Bumble, the AI should have an accuracy of 98 percent. So that the problem can also be contained on other platforms in the future, Bumble is making the “Private Detector” technology freely available as an open source version on Github.
