Roke folds Vigil AI into platform safety

Vigil AI illustrates how sensitive public-sector AI can become commercial trust-and-safety infrastructure, but provenance and governance matter as much as detection performance. Public records describe commercialization of a CAID-trained classifier—not necessarily sale of the underlying archive.

• –The contract covers image and video classifier licences, support, and a redacted attachment marked Official Sensitive.
• –Roke claims Vigil AI detects previously unseen and AI-generated CSAM that hash-matching systems can miss.
• –Chemring says Roke acquired Vigil AI’s remaining shares in May 2026 and secured its first Resolver-channel customer.
• –Platform adoption could support Online Safety Act compliance while reducing moderator exposure to traumatic material.
• –Model-training rights, auditability, false-positive handling, retention, and human review remain critical unanswered questions.
