Government cracks down on AI child abuse images
The Independent
|February 02, 2025
Creators of AI-generated images of child sexual abuse will face up to five years in prison in a new government crackdown.
Home secretary Yvette Cooper has announced that the UK will be the first country in the world to make it illegal to own artificial intelligence tools designed to make images of child sexual abuse.
Under measures the government will bring forward in the Crime and Policing Bill, those who have been found to own AI “paedophile manuals” could be jailed for up to three years.
“Nudeifying” real-life images of children, or stitching their faces on to existing images of abuse, are among the ways AI is being used by abusers, the government department said.
Fake images are also being used to blackmail children and force them to livestream further abuse.
Ministers believe that the online abuse can lead viewers to go out and offend in real life.
