KEARNY, N.J., Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pervasive Group Inc. today announced that MMGuardian, the company's AI powered parental control system, was shortlisted in the "Best Mobile Innovation for Enhancing Children's Lives" category for the prestigious 2020 Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards. The winners will be announced at the GLOMO Awards ceremony on 25th February, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
In addition to traditional parental control functions such as limiting device usage and web filtering, MMGuardian uses AI to redefine parental control on smartphones. With a deep learning model running on a child's mobile phone, it is able to detect and alert parents about the presence of adult or inappropriate pictures in a privacy friendly manner. MMGuardian also analyses messages exchanged over SMS and selected social media applications, as well as web browsing records, and automatically alerts parents about risks and dangers including suicidal thoughts, cyberbullying, sexting, violence, drug abuse and more.
"We are grateful that the GSMA has recognized our AI powered MMGuardian parental control platform and the benefits it brings to both children and their parents," said James Zhou, CEO of Pervasive Group Inc. "During 2019, MMGuardian alerted parents to over 1 million inappropriate images and delivered high priority alerts for over half a million messages, and parents have contacted us on several occasions to inform us that MMGuardian helped save the life of a child. Being shortlisted for this GLOMO award brings further recognition that MMGuardian makes a positive difference to the lives of children".
From the founding principle that all children are entitled to survive and thrive, to learn and grow, and to reach their full potential, the "Best Mobile Innovation for Enhancing Children's Lives" award recognizes the huge potential for mobile technology and initiatives to empower youth today for a better future.
