Q&A

Gutiérrez asks about profiling users and reporting violence

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:54:52 · 1 min 53 sec

Gutiérrez asks whether SpaceX can determine from prompts and searches when a user intends violence and what the process is for communicating with local authorities; Castillo-Madrid says SpaceX uses AI and human monitoring to catch bad actors and reports through NCMEC and law enforcement.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

I have a couple more questions just related to personal data.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

One is specifically, can your company know or do they have reason to know that any user is intending to perpetuate violence in any way?

Jennifer Gutiérrez

My understanding is that your company can profile users based on different prompts, searches.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Can you share if there is any way for your company using those same mechanisms, can you determine when a user...

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Wants to perpetuate violence in any way.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

Yeah, like I mentioned before, we want to catch the bad actors.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

And we have a combination of AI and human monitoring to make sure that we're getting those bad actors off our platform and hopefully into the authorities when necessary.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

And can you share what is the process for communicating to local authorities?

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

We have a law enforcement, the way that people can sort of report.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

I can give you more specifics after, but anybody can report and we'll take very seriously all the reports.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Is there reporting just calling 911?

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

I meant on the platforms.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

Obviously, anybody is free to call the authorities in that regard.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

But, for example, with CSAM, we work with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and we make reports to them.

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

And then they have authorities from different law enforcement agencies across the country, federal and local, and they are in charge of following through and making arrests when necessary.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Okay.
