Study Notes
AI-Generated Child Sexual Exploitation Material
- AI is being exploited to produce images and videos depicting real or deepfake child sexual exploitation material, making it harder for police to protect children online.
Concerns and Statistics
- Australia is the third-largest market for online sexual abuse material.
- In 2023, an Internet Watch Foundation investigation found 20,254 AI-generated images on a dark web forum, with 11,108 likely to be criminal and 2,562 meeting legal requirements for child sexual exploitation material.
- The Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation received over 49,500 reports of child sexual exploitation material in the 2023-2024 financial year, an increase of about 9,300 over the previous year.
- About 90% of deepfake materials online are believed to be explicit.
How AI is Used
- AI is used to create child sexual exploitation material through generated images or videos containing real children or using deepfake technologies, such as de-aging or misusing innocent images.
- Guides on how to use AI to generate child sexual exploitation material are available on the dark web.
- AI can impede victim identification and create new ways to victimize and revictimize children.
Challenges in Policing
- Traditional methods of identifying child sexual exploitation material are inadequate in the face of AI's ability to rapidly generate new, unique content.
- The growing realism of AI-generated exploitation material is adding to the workload of the victim identification unit of the Australian Federal Police.
- It's sometimes difficult to discern fact from fiction, leading to wasted resources and delayed identification of real child victims.
Emerging Strategies
- Leveraging AI technology itself to combat AI-generated content by training machine learning algorithms to detect subtle anomalies and patterns specific to AI-generated images.
- AI technology can also be used to detect exploitation material, including content that was previously hidden, by gathering large data sets from across the internet and assessing them with experts.
