Europol arrests 25 users of online network accused of sharing AI CSAM


Europol’s hunt targets anyone making or sharing AI sex images depicting minors.

"Even in cases when the content is fully artificial and there is no real victim depicted, such as Operation Cumberland, AI-generated CSAM still contributes to the objectification and sexualization of children," Europol's press release said. "Operation Cumberland has been one of the first cases involving AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), making it exceptionally challenging for investigators, especially due to the lack of national legislation addressing these crimes," Europol said. It's unclear how many more arrests could be on the horizon in the EU, but Europol disclosed that 273 users of the Danish suspect's online network were identified, 33 houses were searched, and 173 electronic devices have been seized.
