In response to the incident that a 36-week-old child would be traded on the used trading platform'Carrot Market', the Carrot Market announced that it would take measures to prevent recurrence.



The Carrot Market took measures such as closing the article as soon as the report was received in connection with the incident today (19th), but announced that it will find a way to filter such articles in advance.



The Carrot Market filters out prohibited items such as companion animals, liquor, and counterfeit goods with an artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring system.



Whenever a sales post is posted, AI analyzes the image to see if it is a banned item, and accumulates data through machine learning (machine learning) to improve accuracy.



However, this is the first time that a post saying that they will sell children, and because there is no data learned by AI, Mr. A could not skip the post.



An official at the carrot market said, "In order to increase the intensity of response to such cases, the internal technology team is discussing it."



Earlier, on the 16th of this month, I will adopt a child in the Seogwipo-si area category of the carrot market around 6:36 pm

There is a post titled'It's been 36 weeks.



Author A also posted a picture of a child wrapped in a blanket, and set a sale price of 200,000 won.



As soon as the report from another user was received at around 6:40 pm, the Carrot Market sent a message to Mr. A, asking'Please delete the post because it appears to be prohibited from trading.'



Then, around 6:44 pm, the Carrot Market forcibly closed the article, and made A permanent withdrawal.



As a result of the police investigation, it was confirmed that Mr. A was actually a single mother, and was physically and mentally struggling to write this post while giving birth alone after an unwanted pregnancy.



The police plan to investigate the violation of the Child Welfare Act if Mr. A leaves the postpartum care center, but apart from the investigation, it plans to find a way to support the creator and the child together with the relevant organizations.
