How Bumble Inc’s open source Private Detector™ is helping make the internet safer for women
At Bumble our aim is to make the internet a safer, kinder place for everybody. We saw an opportunity to further that aim by addressing the issue of sending unsolicited lewd photos. We developed and open-sourced Private Detector, an AI-powered tool that detects and blurs lewd images and sends a warning to users before they open it, so that we could enable not only ourselves but also the wider tech community to safeguard people from cyberflashing. In this talk, we’ll dive into the journey of Private Detector: what it is, how we built it, and why we open-sourced it.
