Last week, Apple announced new technologies to detect child sexual abuse material on iPhones. Apple says the new detection tool, called NeuralHash, can identify images of child abuse stored on an iPhone without decrypting the image. It says it has implemented multiple checks to reduce the chance of errors before the images are passed onto the authorities. The tool will roll out in the US this year.
The controversial new features strike at the heart of concerns about privacy, surveillance, and tech-enabled crimes. Apple says these new features preserve privacy as they combat child abuse. For critics, though, the biggest question is not about what the technology might do today; it’s about what it could become tomorrow.
