Children are making indecent images of other children using artificial intelligence (AI) image generators, according to a UK charity.
The UK Safer Internet Centre (UKSIC) said it had received "a small number of reports" from schools but called for action now before the problem grew.
It said children might need help to understand that what they were making was considered child abuse material.
This user-friendly tool offers a wide array of customization options. Users start with a randomly generated human figure and can modify numerous aspects like age, gender, ethnicity, body type, and pose, in addition to hair color, style, clothing, and accessories—kind of like The Sims.
A town in southern Spain is in shock after it emerged that AI-generated naked images of young local girls had been circulating on social media without their knowledge.
Police are now investigating and according to reports, at least 11 local boys have been identified as having involvement in either the creation of the images or their circulation via the WhatsApp and Telegram apps.
Google is trialling a digital watermark to spot images made by artificial intelligence (AI) in a bid to fight disinformation.
Developed by DeepMind, Google's AI arm, SynthID will identify images generated by machines.
It works by embedding changes to individual pixels in images so watermarks are invisible to the human eye, but detectable by computers
Paedophiles are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to create and sell life-like child sexual abuse material, the BBC has found.
Some are accessing the images by paying subscriptions to accounts on mainstream content-sharing sites such as Patreon.
The National Police Chief's Council said it was "outrageous" that some platforms were making "huge profits" but not taking "moral responsibility".
The makers of the abuse images are using AI software called Stable Diffusion, which was intended to generate images for use in art or graphic design.
Forget what you know about chatbots. My AI, which Snapchat launched in May, is so convincingly real, it feels like there's a real person on the other end.
My daughter chats with it several times a day about just about everything, from school stress to friend troubles.
"This [AI] is perfect. No mean things to say. No weirdness. Everything is just perfect and they're willing to learn about what I want. They said even though I'm not a real person I can still be a good friend and listen to talk about things you love," explained my daughter.
"I love My AI. It's my best friend."
