US EditionA.I. Generated Political ad in New York's 21st Congressional District Draws Controversy
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 10 – The Internet Watch Foundation found 1,006 of 1,286 AI-generated videos in early 2025 were the most severe category involving rape and torture, highlighting growing exploitation of AI technology.
- Reports show AI-generated child sexual abuse material surged 400% in early 2025, with 1,286 videos on 210 webpages compared to two videos last year.
- This increase stems from more accessible and sophisticated AI tools creating highly realistic, sometimes indistinguishable, videos often involving real children's likenesses.
- Law enforcement has responded by arresting 25 individuals across 19 countries earlier in 2024 linked to distributing such material, used frequently for harassment and extortion.
- The UK criminalized possession and distribution of AI tools and manuals for creating child abuse content in February, while IWF calls for regulations to control AI model use to block this content.
- The rising prevalence and severity of AI-generated abuse, including 78% Category A videos with extreme content, highlight ongoing harm and urge urgent government and regulatory action.
