The company is using AI to eavesdrop on online game chats to spot bullying, threats and even strangers preying on kids."Don't get me wrong, they're actually really creative and they're fun for the children," Sean Bair, CEO of GameSafe, said. "But unfortunately, the predators use those games to get at kids."
The company's founder David Everitt Jr. got the idea after one of his own kids received some inappropriate chats. Bair said within minutes of starting a Roblox game, he was invited to a room where chats and other things happening were not appropriate for kids."He partnered with me. I've got a background in public safety, sexual assault investigator and so we're able to work together to figure out how best to protect kids in these games," Bair said.
