Founding Safeguarding Lead / Co-Founder

Company Description NeuralSight AI is the world’s first agentic AI infrastructure purpose-built for child safety, safeguarding, and behavioral insights in schools. Founded in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the company transforms existing CCTV networks into real-time, privacy-preserving visual intelligence layers without additional camera hardware or cloud video streaming. Using edge processing and anonymized computer vision, NeuralSight AI converts camera feeds into skeletal vectors, storing no raw video or facial data and maintaining compliance with global privacy regulations such as UAE PDPL, GDPR, FERPA, and COPPA. Its platform enables trauma and baseline monitoring, safeguarding and abuse detection, bullying and aggression mapping, and neurodivergence screening. By turning passive visual data into early intervention signals, NeuralSight AI equips school leaders, child protection teams, parents, and clinicians with actionable insights to protect student wellbeing.

Role Description As the Founding Safeguarding Lead / Co-Founder, you will shape NeuralSight AI’s safeguarding vision, policies, and ethical standards across all school deployments. This part-time, remote role involves designing and maintaining child protection frameworks, translating safeguarding best practices into product requirements, and collaborating closely with AI, engineering, and product teams to ensure responsible system behavior. You will review and refine risk models, escalation protocols, and intervention workflows, and create guidance materials for school administrators, safeguarding officers, and clinical partners. On a day-to-day basis, you will engage with pilot schools and advisory boards, gather feedback on safeguarding impact, and help define measurable outcomes for student safety and wellbeing. You will also contribute to thought leadership in safety-centric AI, represent the company in relevant forums, and play a key role in fundraising, partnerships, and strategic decision-making as a co-founder.
