You could drop the scrips into a folio infobase file have the computer do a
shadow file of the key words. Assign some sort of value on the numerical
"hits" for words that are on your prohibited list or found within a certain
range of other words on your list. You would have something like wha the
content watch groups do now in the U.S. You would make your determination
on how many times "gun" would appear in the script or profanities or type of
violence. You wouldn't need a A.I. program to do that.

The only reasonable suggestion (that's polite enough to post) is "forget
it." More seriously, I'll undertake the following: when you find someone
who will produce such software, I will undertake to alter a script that
the software finds acceptable for a "G" rating so as to turn it into at
least an "R" without changing the software rating.
