Inspired by tragic abuse cases, 17-year-old Chow Sze-lok created Kid-AID, an AI-powered system that offers an extra layer of protection in childcare centers.
Using CCTV footage and audio, the AI is trained to detect subtle warning signs of abuse—like a child flinching, being isolated, or distressed vocal tones—that human supervisors might miss.
If the system flags suspicious activity, it sends an immediate real-time alert to staff, enabling them to intervene instantly.
This powerful blend of empathy and innovation is now attracting interest from child protection groups worldwide, who see its potential to make daycares significantly safer for children.
