Microsoft, The Meet Group partner on ‘grooming detection technique’ for messaging apps
Microsoft and The Meet Group partnered for a new initiative called “Project Artemis” that tries to create a ‘grooming detection technique’ .
The technique works with text-based conversations by scanning, evaluating and rating whether the conversation includes harassing, threatening or other forbidden by law activities.
This information will be then sent to human moderators to identify whether there is a real threat and, in case there is one, to contact law enforcement.
