This nonprofit uses AI, deep learning to fight crimes against children - SiliconANGLE

At this year's SXSW the theme for our conference tech coverage is "AI for good." Technologists will be discussing how they are using new developments in artificial intelligence to solve complex, long-standing social problems, including crimes against children. Federico Gomez Suarez (pictured), senior technical program manager at Microsoft, spoke to John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's mobile live streaming studio, during SXSW about his involvement in Thorn, a special outfit that works with law enforcement to rescue traffic or exploited children. "The fact that we're making a difference in those lives is extremely encouraging," Suarez said. He credits Microsoft's Hack for Good program for paving his avenue to Thorn.
