nudification apps have led to an increase in child sexual abuse material (CSAM) where teenagers are victims without any contact with criminals.<\/li>\n<li>The UK\u2019s National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) have issued guidance urging parents to limit the visibility of family pictures by making social media profiles private and sharing images only with small, trusted groups.<\/li>\n<li>Although uncomfortable, Dan Sexton of the IWF highlights the necessity for parent awareness and action to combat the rise in AI-generated CSAM, which increased by 14% last year with 8,029 AI-made images and videos identified in 2025.<\/li>\n<li>The UK government is implementing restrictions, including making it illegal to possess, create, or distribute AI tools designed to generate CSAM, and is empowering tech companies and child protection agencies to test AI for potential to produce child abuse images.<\/li>\n<li>Sexton and other advocates emphasize the need for legislation that requires AI models to be \u201csafe by design,\u201d highlighting the current struggle to distinguish between real and AI-generated CSAM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI prey: why watchdogs are telling parents to protect children from nudification apps |
