French online moderation startup Bodyguard.ai has raised €9m as the company prepares for further international expansion into the UK, Europe and the US. However, the startup is looking to extend its global reach following the new round of funding, with the opening of a London office. However, the company claims its AI model can “accurately moderate more than 95% of toxic content in real-time” without requiring a human moderator. Bodyguard.ai uses a proprietary AI model to moderate harmful comments across social media spaces.
