Recently, crimes involving illegal part-time jobs have become a serious social issue.
The Metropolitan Police Department has decided to implement a system that automatically detects illegal part-time job postings on social media using AI (reference site: Japanese only). Currently, police officers search social media posts and select those requiring warnings. However, under the new system, AI will automatically detect terms such as “short-term high-paying jobs” and classify risks into several categories.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2025-52899 (Applicant: SoftBank Group Corp.) discloses an invention for a system to prevent illegal part-time jobs using generative AI. In this invention, a data processing system performs the following processes, for example.
Step 1: The generative AI-based system for preventing illegal part-time jobs initiates chat-based communication with job seekers.
Step 2: A data collection module collects detailed information about illegal part-time work through interactions with job seekers.
Step 3: The collected information is reported to police authorities via a communication module to prevent incidents.
I hope that such technology will contribute to the realization of a safe and secure society free from crime. (Conan)
