"Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Krissy Barrett said Wednesday that her force was working with Microsoft to create a prototype capable of interpreting Gen Z and Generation Alpha slang in encrypted messages and chat groups. "This prototype aims to make it quicker for our teams to save children from harm much earlier," Barrett said. Gen Z refers to anyone born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, while Generation Alpha encompasses those born later."
""They are crimefluencers, and are motivated by anarchy and hurting others," she said. Barrett urged parents to engage more closely with their children about online activity, warning that criminals were exploiting slang, emojis, and digital culture to disguise abusive behavior. "If it used to take a village to raise a child. Because of advances in technology, it now takes a country to keep them safe," she said."
Australian Federal Police (AFP) are working with Microsoft to create an AI prototype to interpret Gen Z and Generation Alpha slang in encrypted messages and chat groups. The prototype aims to speed identification of child exploitation and enable earlier rescues. The effort targets decentralised online crime networks that glorify violence and exploitation and are described as crimefluencers motivated by anarchy and harm. Parents are urged to engage more closely with children about online activity because criminals exploit slang, emojis, and digital culture to disguise abusive behavior. The AFP has identified 59 suspected offenders with nine international and three domestic arrests. Three Australian suspects aged 17 to 20 were detained as members of groups grooming and coercing victims online.
