AI generated child sexual abuse is a growing problem that shows no signs of slowing down. Many of these images and videos found online by analysts at the IWF are so realistic that they are a struggle to distinguish from imagery depicting the abuse of real children, even with years of training and experience. It can also be just as distressing to view.
Assistant Chief Constable Becky Riggs, Child Protection and Abuse Investigation Lead at the NPCC,
@PoliceChiefs, said: “The scale of online child sexual abuse and imagery is frightening, and we know that the increased use of artificial intelligence to generate abusive images poses a real-life threat to children [...] While we will continue to relentlessly pursue these predators and safeguard victims, we must see action from tech companies to do more under the Online Safety Act to make their platforms safe places for children and young people.” Learn more about the growing threat posed by the misuse of AI technology:
