MMGuardian, a leading provider of parental control technology, has unveiled an innovative solution to ensure the safety of children in the digital age. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), the company has developed a phone with built-in parental control features that cannot be easily bypassed by children.
With over a decade of experience in the field, MMGuardian initially launched an app that allowed parents to monitor and control their children’s activities on their devices. Now, they have taken a significant step forward by integrating their technology directly into the phone itself.
Coley Pritchett, the director of marketing for Pervasive Group, Inc. – the company behind MMGuardian – explains, We decided to launch the solution, which is a phone with our app built into it. It’s designed for children of any age. This all-in-one solution provides parents with comprehensive control over their children’s online experiences.
The MMGuardian technology offers a wide range of features to enable parents to safeguard their children in the digital realm. It allows parents to filter web content, set time restrictions on device usage, and even monitor messages across various platforms, including popular social media apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.
Moreover, the technology incorporates AI-powered safety alerts. MMGuardian’s AI scans messages and identifies potential risks such as cyberbullying, drug-related content, threats of violence, sexual predators, and inappropriate pictures. Once a concerning message is detected, parents receive an immediate alert on their own phone, allowing them to stay up-to-date with their children’s online interactions.
The AI technology has been developed in-house by MMGuardian. Through continuous feedback from parents who have used the app, the company has been able to train the AI to recognize potentially harmful content, including slang and emojis. This ongoing improvement ensures that the system remains vigilant and effective in protecting children from online dangers.
Recent research by the Pew Research Center highlights the growing concern among parents about their children’s online activities. According to the study, approximately 75% of parents of children aged 5 to 11 actively monitor the websites their children visit or the mobile apps they use. About 72% of parents in the same age group employ some form of parental controls to limit screen time.
Parents who are interested in availing themselves of the MMGuardian technology can now purchase phones with the built-in protection directly from the company’s website. The solution is offered as a monthly subscription, priced at $9.99 for the comprehensive suite of parental controls.
By incorporating AI and advanced technology, MMGuardian is empowering parents to safeguard their children’s online experiences effectively. With its all-in-one solution and continuous updates based on user feedback, this parental control phone sets a new standard for ensuring the safety of children in the digital age.
