Tech giants, including TikTok and Snapchat, have pledged to address the spread of artificially generated images of child sex abuse. The pledge comes after concerns were raised about the normalisation of sexual violence against children due to the realistic nature of these images. The event, hosted by Home Secretary Suella Braverman, aimed to bring together various stakeholders to tackle this issue.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman called child sexual abuse images generated by AI an ‘online scourge’
It comes after an internet safety organisation warned that the realistic imagery risks normalising sexual violence against children. Ms Braverman said: “Child sexual abuse images generated by AI are an online scourge. This is why tech giants must work alongside law enforcement to clamp down on their spread. The pictures are computer-generated but they often show real people – it’s depraved and damages lives.
The organisation, which works to identify and remove online images and videos of child abuse, said the AI-generated material could make it harder to spot when real children might be in danger. The joint statement signed by tech companies including OnlyFans and Stability AI pledged to sustain “technical innovation around tackling child sexual abuse in the age of AI”, according to the Home Office.
