One such leader is Bella Davis-Riemer, Founder and CEO of Monarch AI, whose mission-driven approach to AI-powered digital safety is making a profound impact on families worldwide.

In the historically male-dominated fields of AI and cybersecurity, Bella stands out as a visionary entrepreneur dedicated to protecting children online. Her leadership at Monarch AI exemplifies the power of women-led innovation, proving that technology can be both ethical and transformative.

Addressing the urgency of digital safety for families

The digital world is expanding rapidly, bringing both opportunities and risks. Parents today face the growing challenge of safeguarding their children from cyberbullying, explicit content, and online predators. Bella saw this issue not as an abstract problem but as an urgent call to action, inspiring the creation of Monarch AI – a cutting-edge parental control solution powered by artificial intelligence.

Unlike traditional monitoring tools, Monarch AI goes beyond basic content filtering. It intelligently analyses social media interactions and multimedia content, identifying potential threats while respecting children’s privacy. Under Bella’s leadership, the company prioritises ethical AI, ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations and emphasising a balance between security and autonomy.
