Leading Technologies
Using cutting-edge technologies to prevent harm before it happens.
The video game industry invests in technology that helps to foster a safe gaming experience. Many of these technologies are enabled in the background of games, working to prevent harm before it happens. They allow the industry to proactively address inappropriate content and conduct without having to rely on players to report incidents. These technologies can work hand-in-hand with skilled human moderators to help monitor many gaming environments.

Technologies that help address, detect and report inappropriate behavior.
Communication-Filtering Technology
The common purpose of this technology is to prevent harm before it happens by detecting inappropriate content and preventing other players from seeing it. All three console makers implement filters across game, social and/or account set-up experiences.
Image-Hashing Technology
This technology helps combat child exploitation by creating digital signatures of known images of child exploitation, which are then used with filtering or matching tools to identify and detect such images on online platforms. The video game industry works with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement to ensure these images are properly investigated.
Anti-Grooming Technology
This machine-learning technology is used to detect, address and report online predators who attempt to lure other players
