Apple have confirmed that an AI technology will soon be coming to UK iPhones as part of a new child safety feature.
First launched in the US last year, the safety tool will scan messages sent to and from children referred to as "communication safety in Messages" which will allows parents to turn on warnings for their children's phones and when enabled, all photos sent or received by the child using the Messages app will be scanned for nudity.
The scanning will be carried out by the device, called 'on-device artificial intelligence', meaning no individual at Apple will see the photos. However the feature does have the option to alert a trusted contact.
