Sony Patents AI System That Simulates Minor Behavior to Identify Predators

Sony has submitted a patent describing an artificial intelligence system created to protect players on its platforms. The mechanism operates through accounts controlled by language models that mimic behavioral patterns typical of minors. These accounts are strategically positioned in spaces where users with malicious intentions typically search for potential victims. When a suspicious account interacts with the AI system, its behavior is analyzed to assess potential risks. Should suspicious patterns be detected, the account receives an invisible flag that enables continuous monitoring. The system does not impose immediate punishment for a single interaction, but rather conducts contextual analysis of the user. Only when suspicious behaviors are repeated can the account result in banning. As with most patents, there is no guarantee that this technology will be commercially implemented on PlayStation platforms.
