Britain has announced a groundbreaking law making it illegal to use AI tools for creating child sexual abuse images, positioning itself as the first country to implement such measures. The new legislation specifically targets the use of AI to 'nudeify' real images of children, reinforcing existing laws against the possession and distribution of explicit child images. This move comes in response to a significant rise in reports of AI-generated child abuse material, which has surged nearly five-fold in 2024.
The legislation aims to combat the alarming trend of online predators using AI to disguise their identities and exploit children through blackmail and fake images. New criminal offenses will include the possession and distribution of AI tools designed for creating such material, as well as the possession of AI 'paedophile manuals.' Additionally, the government plans to include measures in the Crime and Policing Bill to enhance the ability of authorities to inspect digital devices.
