There is increasing momentum globally for user safety to become a core design consideration of the internet and a priority for technology companies. The growth of the UK industry and the launch of this directory could not be timelier. As a result, the UK is a world-leader in Safety Technology, with UK companies comprising over 25% of the global market. The UK’s behavioural and social sciences, criminology and law also support an ideal innovation landscape that results in cutting edge technologies delivered at pace. Our success in this sector draws on UK expertise across data science, cyber-security, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing. In 2021, sector revenues increased by 39%, and the sector now employs over 2,200 people across the UK. Since the publication of the first directory just over a year ago, UK Safety Tech has continued to reach new heights. These include the automated identification and removal of illegal imagery, the use of age-assurance to ensure appropriate usage of online content, network filtering and services that identify and mitigate disinformation. Safety Tech encompasses a range of technologies and solutions facilitating safer online experiences. We are delighted to present the latest version of the UK’s Safety Tech Directory.
