Expert: More and more AI photos of sexual child abuse

A focus of exchanges and trade in sexual child misconduct pictures and videos is still in the European Union, the data report published on Wednesday by the Non -Profit Internet Watch Foundation (IMF).

Overall, IMF counted the sites on the web in the reporting year 181,112, in 2023 it was 140,911.

The Netherlands are still the most frequent locations worldwide for hosting, even though the ratio of the global total number has decreased since 2023.

Out of annual report It can also be seen that the IMF recorded 291,273 cases of sexual child abuse or related relationship last year. In addition, the previous 2024 reports included 245, “usable”, with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), sexual hair abuse. This is an increase of 380 percent compared to 2023.

Is the prohibition limit sink?

Experts see such AI -produced pictures with anxiety: According to him, KI has a large extent to produce extremely realistic representation that can hardly be different from real photos. This complicates the difference between the identification of cases of real abuse and arising for investigators and intermediaries and authentic materials. Experts also fear that consumption of such AI images may consolidate their pedophile trend and reduce the prohibition range for real misuse.

The IMF explains the process: If the organization prescribes the online representation of online representation sexual child abuse, trained analysts made a farewell to the URL to determine the location of the physical server. The experts then made every effort to remove it as soon as possible using partners, other hotline and law enforcement officers from the Internet.

If the source, this means that recording is commonly removed from all linked blogs, forums or hosting services that link them.

Controversy on chat control

For IMF interim chief Derek Ray-Hil, the number states how immediately the law of a fundamental European Union is to combat the harmful spread of sexual child’s misuse on the Internet “. They should still serve the European Union countries as a wake-up call to decide on heavy controversial regulation on chat control.

After years of debate, the Council’s Polish top depends on permanently possible voluntary measures, but no scan. But this proposal has not yet received a majority. After the traffic light rejected the chat control, now a lot of new Black and Red Federal will depend on the government.

In 2014, the current British Prime Minister Kir Star, the current British Prime Minister, provided powers for his own research when he was an prosecutor. Since then, the IMF has discovered much more material. High statistical values ​​are not necessarily reflected in production, but it can also be based on better detection.
