MMGuardian introduced an AI-powered smartphone for kids emphasizing child safety.

Announced at the CES 2024 tech trade show in Las Vegas, MMGuardian designed the AI smartphone particularly for kids to address the evolving needs of teenagers. It offers a suite of features designed to enhance parental control and child safety.

MMGuardian’s AI harnesses deep learning models to detect inappropriate selfies, providing a crucial layer of protection against online risks such as sexting, sextortion, and cyberbullying. Now it has launched a smartphone in partnership with Samsung.

Established in 2012, MMGuardian emerged from Techlaunch and secured seed funding in 2013 and it has received awards for its contributions to child safety technology.

In 2018, MMGuardian implemented scanning capabilities for pictures, texts, and chat messages. It has issued over 10 million alerts to parents since its inception.
