Apple has introduced security feature aimed at scanning iPhone messages for nudity. iPhone users in the UK will be screened for nudity with artificial intelligence for child abuse.
Apple is preparing to bring the security feature to iPhones, which uses artificial intelligence to scan messages sent to and from children. With this feature, Apple will have the authority to read text messages on iPhones belonging to children. But users have major security concerns.
Apple will scan messages for nudity on iPhone
A controversial security feature has been introduced for iPhone owners in the UK. Apple’s new update; It includes a security feature that uses artificial intelligence to scan messages sent to and from children.
Apple’s new security feature is rolling out as additional security for iPhones of children under 18. According to the company’s statement, nudity scanning will be performed when photos are sent or received by children via the messaging app.
If “Communication security in messages” is enabled and nudity is detected in a received photo, the photo will be blurred and Apple will warn that it contains sensitive content. The similar function will be activated when a child sends a nude photo.
With the latest security measure, adult support is also coming to children’s iPhones. If nudity is detected in the photo sent via text message, there will be a “Send Adult Message” option.
This isn’t actually Apple’s first attempt to scan iPhones. The company, which previously said it would scan user galleries against child abuse, received a great reaction from privacy advocates. Following this backlash, the rollout of child protection features was delayed until September.
In addition to this scanning innovation, the tech giant will also offer tools aimed at intervening when searching for child abuse in Spotlight, Siri or Safari. However, it should be noted that these have not yet been detailed.
