AI beats human sleuth at finding problematic images in research papers

  :camera: PictShare is an open source image, mp4, pastebin hosting service with a simple resizing and upload API that you can host yourself. :rice_scene:

  

I guess they had a system that required humans to confirm the validity or so.

I had a similar problem when I realized someone put up CSAM (Children sexual abuse material) on my public demo of my CDN called PictShare [1].

I didn't want to look through all of these images so I built a Raspberry Pi with a Neural compute stick [2] that used an AI model trained by yahoo to filter out "nudity" images and I put them in an encrypted ZIP file along with the access logs and sent them to Interpol.

This lead to the arrest of a teacher here in Austria so I'm glad I could do my part.

This even lead to a BBC article about my system [3]
