From helper to perpetrator – How AI is worsening the child pornography problem

Date:

Until now it has mainly helped with detection, but now artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming the perpetrator itself and is therefore part of the problem: Advances in the field of so-called image generators have led to an explosion of disturbingly lifelike images of child sexual abuse. This poses new challenges for researchers.

The Teichtmeister case has once again brought the well-known problem of child pornography on the Internet into the spotlight. In 2022, approximately 2,060 child pornography crimes were reported in Austria. According to official information from the Federal Criminal Police Office, the number of cases of child abuse on the Internet has increased for the seventh year in a row and has reached a new high. However, the number of unreported cases is likely to be much higher.
