The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline has received 36.2 million reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse material in 2023.

The proliferation of realistic AI-generated CSAM and deepfaked nudes is overburdening the reporting system and complicating the identification of actual victims.

Efforts to clean AI training datasets of explicit content face challenges, with CSAM inadvertently incorporated into AI image generators' neural networks.

The widespread use of compromised datasets in AI research and development poses risks due to their open-source nature.

The EU Artificial Intelligence Act aims to ban AI applications that involve sensitive biometric categorization and identification systems.

There is a growing need for regulations and additional tools to filter AI-generated images and to control AI model development to prevent misuse.

Deepfakes and AI-enabled biometrics are of particular concern for disinformation campaigns and require responsible AI development with transparency and safeguards.
