Japanese mobile company Tone Mobile has released a phone that keeps its users from taking inappropriate photos. The Tone e20 has an AI-powered feature that prevents its users from taking or saving nude photos. This feature is aimed at parents who would want to keep their kids away from porn, or prevent them from posting (or taking) nude photos of themselves. Petapixel has the details:
The system is powered by what Tone Mobile calls “TONE Security AI,” which is implemented into the phone’s TONE Camera to “prevent self-portrait damage caused by children under the age of 18 being deceived or threatened to photograph their own nudity.” 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.
