Tech firms to test AI tools' ability to make child abuse images
The Guardian
|November 12, 2025
Tech companies and child protection agencies will be given the power to test whether artificial intelligence tools can produce child abuse images under a new UK law.
Kanishka Narayan said the aim was to stop abuse before it happens
The announcement was made as a safety watchdog revealed that reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) more than doubled in the past year from 199 in 2024 to 426 in 2025.
Under the change, the government will give designated AI companies and child safety organisations permission to examine AI models - the underlying technology for chatbots such as ChatGPT and image generators such as Google's Veo 3 - and ensure they have safeguards to prevent them creating images of child sexual abuse.
Kanishka Narayan, the minister for AI and online safety, said the move was "ultimately about stopping abuse before it happens", adding: "Experts, under strict conditions, can now spot the risk in AI models early."
