Reports indicate a massive uptick in AI-generated CSAM throughout the internet


Reports from various watchdog organizations have shown a massive increase in AI-generated CSAM. The videos have also reportedly become more detailed and realistic.

Researchers at organizations like the Internet Watch Foundation and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children are warning that this new AI-created CSAM is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. In 2023, researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory found hundreds of examples of CSAM in a data set used in an early version of the image generator Stable Diffusion. Stability AI says it has introduced safeguards to improve safety standards and "is deeply committed to preventing the misuse of our technology, particularly in the creation and dissemination of harmful content, including CSAM."
