RTL relies on AI solutions to protect minors

Because RTL Deutschland is distributing more and more content across various platforms, the provider is increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to check content.

With its new AI technology, RTL Deutschland wants to set new standards in terms of youth protection, the group announced on Tuesday. The use of artificial intelligence in a combination of automated content analysis and human review aims to create a safe media environment for young viewers.

Specifically, the specially developed video pipeline is intended to check media content more efficiently and precisely, thereby supporting compliance with legal requirements. The new AI should not abolish human expertise, but rather be combined with it. The reason is the rapidly growing range of content and multiple delivery channels, reports RTL.

Every year, RTL’s youth protection team checks several thousand hours of video material. An increase due to the continuous growth of the Streaming service RTL+ is to be expected. The video pipeline first analyzes the data and the review and decision is then made by humans. This is to meet the high quality and sensitivity standards of youth protection.

In addition to protecting minors, RTL Deutschland is already using artificial intelligence in numerous projects. Since 2022, AI applications such as synthetic voices for ntv.de, the original voice of the late actor Hans Clarin for “New Stories from Pumuckl”, AI-generated content such as “The Little Among Us Christmas Film” and the daily series “Unter Uns” have been added. for use. Also for RTL’s 40th anniversary in 2024, protagonists such as Peter Kloeppel, Günther Jauch and Sonja Zietlow were rejuvenated using AI.
