‘Mind-reading’ device to detect #porn could speed #China’s policing of illicit content, say researchers

  • Electrical #engineering team combine the power of humans and #AI to create a #prototype device that sounds an alarm when an indecent image appears
  • But an observer says there is no law to regulate the use of such objects, which could be used by censors, or to protect the data they collect

The whole thing is pretty ridiculous. Because #pornography is forbidden in China, the censors had problems to get appropriate material. The internet is full of porn but not in China because of the big firewall. For testing, they ended up using material with black bars as shown in the photo above. Only such material can be used legally in China. What they have found out scientifically now is probably that there are people who are attracted to this black and white zebra porn and react accordingly with brain #activity.
