Images of child sexual abuse generated by artificial intelligence are on the rise.
Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, says 100,000 Australians a month have accessed an app that allows users to upload images of other people – including minors – to receive a depiction of what they would look like naked.
Predators are known to share know-how to produce and spread these images – and in Australia, the AI tools used to create this material are not illegal.
All the while, Julie Inman Grant says not a single major tech company has expressed shame or regret for its role in enabling it.
Today, advocate for survivors of child sexual assault and director of The Grace Tame Foundation, Grace Tame, on how governments and law enforcement should be thinking about AI and child abuse – and whether tech companies will cooperate.
