AI Against Child Suicides: Japan Launches Neural Networks to Save Students

According to Kyodo, last year the country recorded a record number of suicides among elementary and middle school students. At the same time, overall suicide statistics in Japan have been steadily declining since 2003 — the alarming trend particularly affects children.

Neural networks will search the internet for dangerous queries and signs of depression in teenagers. This will help psychologists and social services detect trouble in time and save a child.
