🤖 How is #AI being abused to create child sexual abuse imagery? Child sexual abuse images generated using artificial intelligence is a growing area of concern. A key finding from our research in this field found that most AI CSAM is now realistic enough to be treated as ‘real’ CSAM. The most convincing AI CSAM is visually indistinguishable from real CSAM.

How is technology, designed for creativity, exploited to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM)? INHOPE hotlines have reported a surge in AI-generated content, making it significantly challenging to distinguish from real abuse material. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)'s research reveals shocking numbers and exposes online 'manuals' guiding offenders. This new trend holds many implications and presents new challenges for child online safety - from the normalisation of CSAM to increasing workloads for hotline analysts.

Massive dataset used to train AI found child sexual abuse. #AIabuseimages 🤝 Follow us on Discord 🔜: https://lnkd.in/gt823Zd3 🤝 Follow us on Whatsapp 🔜 https://wapia.in/wabeta _ ❇️ Summary: Stanford Internet Observatory researchers discovered over a thousand images of child sexual abuse material in a public dataset used to train AI image-generating models. The dataset, known as LAION 5B, contains billions of images scraped from the internet, including social media and adult entertainment websites. LAION is currently evaluating the findings and has taken the dataset offline. The Stanford team is working to remove the identified images and has reported the URLs to organizations dedicated to protecting children. The report also recommends restricting web-scale datasets to research settings only. Hashtags: #chatGPT #ChildSexualAbuseMaterial #AIImageGeneratingTools

“On 24 May 2023, our team uncovered a disturbing collection of AI-generated child sexual abuse images. This discovery thrust us into a new and challenging reality.” – Chris Hughes, Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) Hotline Director INHOPE’s hotline of the month has taken on a critical challenge: addressing the rise of AI-generated child sexual abuse content. This year, their team identified tens of thousands of these artificial images within just six months, exposing a rapidly growing and complex threat. The emergence of AI-generated abuse material represents a new dimension in the fight against child exploitation. IWF is exploring how to leverage AI technology to detect and eliminate harmful content, reinforcing their commitment to innovation. 👉Click here to learn more about their research on AI: https://bit.ly/4cckZs9 #hotlineofthemonth #IWF #AIgenerated #inhope #memberhotline #globalnetwork #safeinternet #childsafety #onlineprotection #fightCSAM #trendsanddata #behindthescreens

Key findings from our latest #AI child sexual abuse material report: 1️⃣ Perpetrators continue to use open-source models to generate content because access is offline, on-device; users can use models and prompts freely; and there are few (if any) opportunities for content moderation and criminal content detection or prevention. 2️⃣ Worryingly, the proportion of Category A images has increased by 10 percentage points. 3️⃣ Just as in the previous snapshot, female children featured in over 99% of AI CSAM images assessed.
