Child sexual abuse imagery being shared online by use of artificial intelligence, report finds

Almost 2.5 million suspected online records of child sex abuse material were disclosed to global network InHope last year, amid concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in the area.

Child sexual abuse imagery is being shared online through advanced tactics, including comment sections on video-sharing platforms or the use of artificial intelligence prompts, according to a new report.

The report comes from InHope, a global network of 55 member hotlines, including Ireland’s Hotline service.
