Australia's federal police and Monash University are asking netizens to send in snaps of their younger selves to train a machine-learning algorithm to spot child abuse in photographs.

Researchers are looking to collect images of people aged 17 and under in safe scenarios; they don't want any nudity, even if it's a relatively innocuous picture like a child taking a bath. The crowdsourcing campaign, dubbed My Pictures Matter, is open to those aged 18 and above, who can consent to having their photographs be used for research purposes.

All the images will be amassed into a dataset in an attempt to train an AI model to tell the difference between a minor in a normal environment and an exploitative, unsafe situation. The software could, in theory, help law enforcement better automatically and rapidly pinpoint child sex abuse material (aka CSAM) in among thousands upon thousands of photographs under investigation, avoiding having human analysts inspect every single snap.

“For the children, right? Couldn’t possibly be for general surveillance of everybody.”

― David Rockefeller

They’ve been planning the takeover for a hundred years.

If they find out you're a Trump supporter they'll bust you for child abuse.

Stay clear of such doings. Save your children.

If this isn’t an intelligence test for the people in Australia, then I don’t know what is.

Hoe that pass!

Is this the same Australia that ordered cops to chase citizens down the street while in formation, if those citizens were not wearing their Masks?
My overall view of Australia changed after seeing videos of such incidents.

Australia wants its citizens to help train their neural network Precogs so they can identify and prosecute Precrimes.

All dystopian fiction is being realized in real time.

Send pics of Greta Thunberg scowling.

Though that might be against the Geneva Convention.

This has nothing to do with child abuse and everything to do with fine-tuning facial recognition systems.

Facebook started doing this some time back with their "Throwback Thursday" campaign encouraging users to post pics of themselves from ten years ago.

Collect pics of kids now and it'll be easier to ID them later on as adults.

The previous attempt at training an AI model used photos from the Epstein library.

When they go to feed the data into the AI device and the first question it asks is what political party does the child’s parents support, be very suspicious.
