According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, those who participate in the supportive conversation will then be referred to the Lucy Faithfull Foundation to help change and control their behavior.
The IWF, which is responsible for finding and removing child sexual abuse images online, saw a 50% increase in reports during coronavirus lockdown measures.
ReThink Chatbot is set to be fully operational and rolled out by the end of 2022 as part of a renewed effort to engage people before they commit a criminal act.
The team hasn’t revealed the exact details of how the chatbot works or how it accesses the devices of people looking for offensive images, as it is still under development.
The IWF said the move would allow it to take a more proactive approach to the growing problem of people searching for child sexual abuse images and videos online.
“This bot chatting software would really be a great tool in helping us address the growing problem of child sexual abuse material online,” said Susie Hargreaves, CEO of IWF.
“It is likely to be a way to change the rules of the game to intervene for people who may be about to embark on a dangerous path online,” Suzy added, explaining: “We remove millions of pictures and videos of children suffering the worst kind of abuse every year, but we know that this is.” A battle that must be fought on two fronts. ”
“If we are able to address the demand for these materials, some of these videos may be discontinued in the first place,” she emphasized.
It comes as the National Crime Agency (NCA) warned earlier this year that it believes there are at least 300,000 individuals in the UK who pose a sexual threat to children.
“The NCA is pleased to be part of an advisory group for this collaborative project,” said Damian Barrow, Senior Director of the NCA’s Dark Web Unit. The NCA welcomes interventions of this type to prevent people from moving from risky to illegal behavior.
