L1ght develops an AI-based platform that detects and predicts toxic content—including cyberbullying, hate speech, predatory behavior, and other harmful material—across text, audio, video, and images. The product is positioned as a one-stop shop for customers that want to monitor and protect online communities such as social networks, communication apps, gaming platforms, and hosting providers. Its proprietary algorithms were created by a multidisciplinary team of cybersecurity experts, data scientists, psychologists, and anthropologists and are designed to read context and flag material specifically harmful to kids. The company says this approach gives it an edge over standard mathematical-based AI and content-moderation tools. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Tel Aviv with an office in San Francisco, L1ght reports that the majority of its current clients are off the record. It plans to use the new funding for further research and development and to scale the platform to meet market demand.
