Deep Dive: Content Warning - this deep dive discusses child sexual abuse. 

Australian Federal Police have issued a warning about a rise in the use of generative AI in creating child sexual abuse material. 

Not only is it being used by predators online, it’s also being used by Aussie kids to bully and harass each other.

In today’s episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt sits down with documentary and podcast maker Akhim Dev who has long worked alongside police in this space, to talk about the threat of AI to kids, and how the tech is being used to fight and track down perpetrators of child sexual abuse.
