Microsoft says it has developed an automated system to identify when sexual predators are trying to groom children within the chat features of video games and messaging apps.
Microsoft created Artemis in conjunction with the online children’s game Roblox, messaging app Kik and the Meet Group, which makes dating and friendship apps including Skout, MeetMe and Lovoo. The collaboration started in November 2018 at a Microsoft hackathon focused on child safety.
Artemis builds on an automated system Microsoft started using in 2015 to identify grooming on Xbox Live, looking for patterns of keywords and phrases associated with grooming. These include sexual interactions, as well as manipulation techniques such as detachment from friends and family. The system analyzes conversations and assigns them an overall score indicating the likelihood that grooming is happening. If that score is high enough, the conversation will be sent to moderators for review. Those employees look at the conversation and decide if there is an imminent threat that needs referring to law enforcement or, if the moderator identifies a request for child sexual exploitation or abuse imagery, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is contacted.
The system will also flag cases that might not meet the threshold of an imminent threat or exploitation but violate the company’s terms of services. In these cases, a user could have their account deactivated or suspended., a technology developed by a British internet security company that helps law enforcement and technology companies find and remove known images of child sexual exploitation.
For Artemis, developers and engineers from Microsoft and the partners involved fed historical examples of patterns of grooming they had identified on their platforms into a machine learning model to improve its ability to predict potential grooming scenarios, even if the conversation hadn’t yet become overtly sexual. It is common for grooming to start on one platform before moving to a different platform or a messaging app.

France Is Finally Reckoning With Decades of Shoulder-Shrugging Over Child Sexual AbuseA woman’s book-length account of being molested at the age of 14 by a noted French literary figure has prompted a reckoning in the country over attitudes toward child sexual abuse. Last Thursday saw the publication of Vanessa Springora’s Le Consentement (or Consent), which details how the author was allegedly groomed into a quote-unquote “relationship” by celebrated writer Gabriel Matzneff, then 50, whom she calls a “predator.” That a book detailing such vile acts has sparked outrage in France isn’t surprising—except that its revelations are not new. Matzneff has long been vocal about, by the definition of United States law, sexually abusing children (in his own delusional terms: having sex with children).
