UK Cracks Down on AI-Generated Child Abuse Content
As AI tools grow more sophisticated and accessible, sadly exploitation of these tools also increases. Recognising this, the Home Office has made the UK the first country in the world to introduce new legislation that targets predators producing AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). AI-generated content has severe consequences for victims. CSAMs may be used to manipulate or blackmail children, perpetuate harmful narratives, or retraumatise victims whose likenesses have been altered.
