by | Feb 16, 2021 | Person recognition, Youth Protection

AI Image Moderation for Dating Portals has never been easier. At airis:protect, we have decided to regularly share updates and insights about the current development status of our AI products on this blog — and this article marks the beginning.
Our artificial intelligence platform is capable of analyzing a wide range of image-based criteria. These criteria are organized into so-called “checks,” allowing customers to combine exactly the features they need for their specific use case.

Automated Image Moderation for Dating Platforms

Our first product focuses on AI-powered image moderation for dating portals. The goal is simple: eliminate the need for manual profile image approvals and allow users to go online instantly without noticeable delays.

Traditional moderation systems often require human review, creating bottlenecks and long waiting times. Our AI system automates this process with high speed and accuracy.

The AI has already been trained with more than 100 million images and can identify:

  • Faces and number of persons
  • Estimated age groups
  • Body parts
  • Nudity and explicit content
  • Text inside images
  • Hands, shoes, and other objects

Advanced Face and Age Detection

In the example below, the AI identifies two adults and two children within a single image.

Figure 1: Detection of Adults, Seniors and Children

Not only are the adults recognized, but the system also detects an elderly woman in the background and two children. In this scenario, the children were automatically anonymized using a configurable blurring effect.

The AI can distinguish between different age groups, including:

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Senior

This functionality is especially useful for dating platforms that may require:

  • Exactly one adult person per image
  • No minors in uploaded photos
  • Accurate person counting

High-Speed Crowd Analysis in Under 0.1 Seconds

We pushed the system further by analyzing highly populated images.

Figure 2: AI Counts 364 People in a Single Image

In this example, the AI analyzed an image containing hundreds of people and returned the result in less than 0.1 seconds.

The system not only counted the individuals, but also identified:

  • Hands
  • Feet
  • Shoes
  • Additional visible body features

This level of detail enables highly flexible moderation rules and advanced content filtering.

AI Detection of Nudity and Sensitive Content

For dating platforms, detecting inappropriate or explicit content is one of the most important moderation tasks.

Our AI can identify:

  • Nudity
  • Excessive skin exposure
  • Explicit body parts
  • Inappropriate text inside images

In the following example, the system detected exposed buttocks and automatically applied a masking effect according to the configured moderation policy.

Different moderation styles are possible, including:

  • Blur effects
  • Overpainting
  • Pixelation
  • Full content blocking

All moderation classes and visual effects can be individually configured for each customer.

GDPR-Compliant AI Hosting in Germany

Security and privacy are essential components of our platform.

The entire system is hosted securely inside a German data center and operates according to strict European GDPR data protection standards.

This ensures:

  • Secure image processing
  • European data residency
  • GDPR compliance
  • High availability and scalability

The Future of AI Moderation for Dating Services

AI-based moderation opens up entirely new possibilities for dating platforms and online communities. Faster onboarding, improved user safety, and scalable moderation workflows are only the beginning.
