Would AI algorithms to detect and flag a penis in an image be any easier or less error-prone than other similar image recognition problems?


What AI algorithms vs what image recognition algorithms?


Dog vs cat is the famous one. Nudity is another famous one that is extremely hard. A penis might be more distinctive though, similar to how I understand cameras are now pretty good at detecting faces. Just cutting off most of the trouser snake content other than well disguised ones might vastly improve a site like this.


I think there's sort of a sub-field within image recognition which just focuses on the techniques to automatically detect nudity.

Can you imagine having something on your resume like: "Awarded patent for the 1st algorithm to reliably detect penis."
