Studies show that the vast majority of abusive incidents have one thing in common: a few very specific verbal insults tend to be shouted by perpetrators. Women Helping Women Asia trained its AI to recognise these key phrases in Cantonese as well as English spoken with a Cantonese accent. When they are detected, the app secretly starts recording the entire incident that follows, helping victims collect evidence against their abusers. If the AI determines the incident is escalating, an emergency alert is sent to a pre-determined trusted contact, allowing family or friends to intervene.
