A Japanese Smartphone Uses AI To Keep Users From Taking Nude Photos

JustAnotherOldGuy quotes the PetaPixel photography blog on a new smartphone being sold in Japan: Aimed at parents who want to keep their kids from making bad choices, the TONE e20 has an AI-powered "Smartphone Protection" feature that prevents users from shooting or saving "inappropriate" photos (read: naked pictures). The official Tone Mobile press release hails the TONE e20 as the world's first phone with an AI that "regulates inappropriate images" through an AI built into the so-called TONE Camera... If the AI recognizes that the subject of a photo is "inappropriate," the camera will lock up; and if you somehow manage to snap a photo before the AI kicks in, the phone won't let you save or share it. Additionally, a feature called "TONE Family" can be set to send an alert to parents whenever an inappropriate image is detected. According to SoraNews24, this alert will contain location data and a pixelated thumbnail of the photo in question.
