Parents Warned Not to Publicly Share Children's Images Amid AI Abuse Risks The National Crime Agency has issued a stark warning to parents about the dangers of publicly sharing images of their children online due to the rise in AI generated abuse imagery.
This development highlights the evolving threats to children's safety in the digital age, where child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is increasingly being created with the help of artificial intelligence.
The statistics on this issue are alarming: over 8,000 AI generated images and videos of realistic CSAM were identified by the Internet Watch Foundation in 2025, a 14% increase from the previous year.
