Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) reports have skyrocketed by 406% in just six years. While this increase correlates with rising abuse, it also means platforms are doing a better job detecting CSAM, often through hashing and matching, and reporting it. But how do you mitigate the risks of hosting this content when it's new and hasn't been previously reported? Last year, more than 104 million CSAM files were received by NCMEC. This is a critical issue, but technology is stepping up in a big way. Our solution: Safer Predict. Safer Predict detects previously unreported CSAM images and videos. But it doesn’t stop there, this solution detects potential text-based child sexual exploitation using state-of-the-art AI prediction techniques. Together, CSAM and text-based CSE detection creates a powerful combination for combating this nefarious activity on your platform. With the right tools, we can build a safer internet. https://lnkd.in/gAw457Wa

The Premier of Victoria, will tomorrow make a formal apology to Victorians who experienced historical abuse and neglect as children in institutional care. It is estimated more than 90,000 children were placed in care in Victoria prior to 1990, where many of them experienced various forms of abuse such as physical, psychological, emotional and child sexual abuse. The UN Special Rapporteur on sale and sexual exploitation of children, Mama Fatima Singhateh issued this following statement ahead of Safer Internet Day, which was yesterday February 6th. The boom in generative AI and eXtended Reality is constantly evolving and facilitating the harmful production and distribution of child sexual abuse and exploitation in the digital dimension, with new exploitative activities such as the deployment of end-to-end encryption without built-in safety mechanisms, computer-generated imagery (CGI) including deepfakes and deepnudes, and on-demand live streaming and eXtended Reality (XR) of child sexual abuse and exploitation material. The internet and digital platforms can be a double-edged sword for children and young people. It can allow them to positively interact and further develop as autonomous human beings, claiming their own space. While also facilitate age-inappropriate content and online sexual harms of children by adults and peers." From the article "UN expert alarmed by new emerging exploitative practices of online child sexual abuse." which you can read in full here: @OHCHR @UN_SPExperts @UniversityofHull unitednationshumanrights

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are being used to create child sexual exploitation material, including deepfake content. Deepfake technology generates realistic, fabricated images or videos of children engaged in sexually explicit or exploitative acts, even if those children never participated in such activities in reality. Many of these cybercrimes related to children remain unpunished in many jurisdictions.

Together, we can protect our children online. #EndCSAM #EndCSEM #OnlineSafety #ChildProtection #AIAbuse #DigitalSafety #CyberSafety #ProtectKidsOnline #OnlineExploitationPrevention #SpeakOutAgainstCSAM
