US Prosecutors and IWF Alarmed by Surge in AI-Generated Child Abuse Imagery

Oct 21, 2024, 08:07 AM

A recent surge in AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery has raised alarm among watchdogs and US prosecutors. According to the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), cases of such content in the past six months have already surpassed last year's total. The issue has reached a tipping point, as highlighted by a recent data hack that exposed the prevalence of this disturbing trend on an 'uncensored' adult AI chatbot site. US prosecutors, as reported by Reuters, are increasingly concerned about the rising threat posed by AI in generating and disseminating child abuse content.
