AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

The Dark Side of Deepfakes

Artificial Intelligence is being used to create fake, hyper-realistic images of child abuse. Though no physical harm may occur in the creation, the psychological and reputational damage is real. Victims can be targeted using only a school photo or social media profile.

What You Can Do:

  • Raise awareness with parents and carers about how AI misuse works.

  • Encourage safe image-sharing practices among children and teens.

  • Support law enforcement and tech reform that keeps pace with AI misuse.
