The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has published an update report on AI-generated child sexual abuse material (AI CSAM) looking at changes in the landscape since its first report in October 2023. Findings show: over 3,500 new AI-generated criminal child sexual abuse images have been uploaded on to the same dark web forum as previously analysed in October 2023; there has been an increase in the proportion of AI-generated images confirmed to be child sexual abuse on the forum which depict the most severe Category A abuse; and AI-generated child sexual abuse videos, primarily deepfakes, have started circulating. New recommendations ask that the Government legislates to ensure ‘nudifying’ technology is not available to UK based users.
