Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI) announced the integration of Thorn Detect, a child sexual abuse material (CSAM) detection AI developed by non-profit Thorn, into its Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System (iDEMS) suite.
The partnership leverages state-of-the-art machine learning models to quickly identify potential CSAM on seized digital devices, enabling law enforcement to prioritize critical files, accelerate case resolution, and locate victims faster.

Veritone's proprietary AI operating system, aiWARE™, orchestrates the machine learning models to process unstructured data, including video, audio, and images, to drive operational efficiency in public sector workflows.
