Roblox, Discord, OpenAI, and Google have announced the formation of a non-profit organization called “ROOST” (Robust Open Online Safety Tools), which plans to build a highly scalable and interoperable security infrastructure more suitable for the age of artificial intelligence.
ROOST will provide free open-source security tools to public and private institutions for use on their respective service platforms, with a particular emphasis on child safety.
In a related statement, ROOST stated that its open-source security tools will provide mechanisms for detecting, reviewing, and reporting CSAM, and that ROOST’s partners will provide the funding and technical expertise needed to maintain and update these open-source security tools.
ROOST’s goal is to ensure the credibility of online content through a more reliable security infrastructure in the trend of automated generative artificial intelligence changing a wide range of online content, while allowing small businesses and organizations to ensure content security through ROOST’s open-source tool resources without having to build security tools from scratch.
The issue of children’s online safety has been a concern for many industry views in recent years, especially for Roblox, which attracts many children and adolescents, and has continued to develop many safety protection policies, while Google and OpenAI and other artificial intelligence technology companies have also pledged to avoid the use of their technology to generate harmful content for children.
Although ROOST’s provision of open-source security tools cannot eliminate the problem of child safety 100%, it can at least make it easier for more companies to deal with such issues.
