The Risk of Identifying At Risk Children Through Tech The Australian government's push to improve child safety in childcare centers has taken an intriguing turn with the introduction of machine learning system SAFE, developed by Ruby O'Rourke and her team.
This technology aims to identify children at risk of harm through observations made by educators, which are then fed into a predictive model that assigns a risk score and guidance on whether concerns meet reporting thresholds.
The system relies heavily on human judgments in generating these risk scores.
