Google and OpenAI back new safety tools to combat child sexual abuse
The initiative, known as Robust Open Online Safety Tools (Roost), will help firms otherwise unable to afford or build their own safety mechanisms gain access to technology to help detect, review and report child sexual abuse material, and use AI to help power other safety features.
The scheme has also been backed by former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt, online messaging platform Discord and several academic and research organisations, and was announced during the first day of the AI Action Summit in Paris.
The summit is hosting world leaders, tech firms and academics for a range of talks on the future of AI and how the technology can be used in a range of fields including sustainability and safety, as well as how it could impact society.
Schmidt said the scheme 'addresses a critical need to accelerate innovation in online child safety and AI by providing small companies and non-profits access to technologies they currently lack'.
He said the 'collaborative, open-source approach' would help 'foster innovation', and help create a 'safer internet for everyone'.
The summit is being attended by tech figures including Google boss Sundar Pichai and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, as well as a number of world leaders and senior figures including US Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with many nations looking to use the summit to showcase their own potential leadership of the AI space.

United States, July 26, 2025 -- RemoteAgent: AI That Actually Gets Things Done Strategic AI Advisors announces RemoteAgent, a breakthrough AI agent platform that transforms how executives handle research, analysis, and business intelligence.
