A report from Anglia Ruskin University reveals a rapid increase in demand for AI-generated child sexual abuse images on the dark web. Researchers Dr. Deanna Davy and Professor Sam Lundrigan analyzed chat logs from dark web forums over the past 12 months and found that online criminals' interest in using AI technology to create child pornography materials is rising. They are self-learning and sharing experiences to create AI-generated abusive images online. The study points out that the problem posed by AI technology is that law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in understanding and responding to AI-generated materials.

英国互联网观察基金会(IWF)报告指出，AI生成的儿童性虐待内容(CSAM)在网络上的激增令人担忧。在他们春季30天的调查中，黑暗网络论坛上有3,512部利用AI制作的CSAM，较前一年同期增加17%。报告详细指出，内容真实度和严重程度均有上升，其中涉及极端或露骨性行为的比例有所增加。当前合成视频虽未达高度逼真，技术进步令其快速逼近现实。此增长趋势导致两个主要问题：一是追踪技术发展使得监管和执法难题加深，尤其是在小型AI程序方面；二是缺乏明确法律界定，尤其是在涉及AI生成内容的犯罪范畴。虽然这个问题在技术上日益复杂，FBI已表示会严肃对待指控，举报官称鼓励受害者立即报告。

New Australian regulations require tech giants to eliminate AI-generated child abuse images. The regulations mandate tech companies to regularly review and improve AI tools to address the issue of child abuse images potentially generated by artificial intelligence. The eSafety Commissioner urges tech companies to reduce the harms caused by their products, requiring search engines to remove child abuse material and prevent the generation of deepfake images.
