UK to become the first country to criminalized AI tools for children abuse | News of children’s rights
The UK will make a crime possess, create or distribute artistic tools for intelligence (AI) that generate sexual content that target children.
The United Kingdom has become the first country to enter the laws against artificial intelligence tools to be used to create sexual images of children, in an attempt to suppress phenomena, which she said was the growing Cooper’s home secretary.
On Saturday, the Government announced that it would make an illegal possession, creating or distribution of a tools that create abuse, making it a crime punishable for up to five years in prison.
AI tools are used to generate pictures of sexual abuse of children “by” leveling “pictures of children from real life or” sewing the face of other children to existing pictures, “the government said.
It will also be a crime that is punishable for up to three years in prison to own AI “pedophile manuals” that learns to use people how to use AI for sexual abuse of children.
New laws will also criminalize “predators that manage websites intended for other pedophiles that share the vicious content of sexual abuse of children or advice on how to nurture children,” punishable up to 10 years in prison, the government said.
“This is a real disturbing phenomenon,” Cooper told Sky News on Sunday. “Internet material for sexual abuse of children is growing, but also nurturing children and teenagers online. And what is happening now is that Ai puts it on steroids. “
She said that the Alains make it easier for the perpetrators “nurturing children, which also means that they manipulate the pictures of children and then use them to draw and blackmail young people for further abuse.”
“It’s just the most terrible crime,” she added. “Other countries do not do it yet, but I hope everyone else will follow.”
Cooper on Sunday said the BBC that a recent investigation found that about 500,000 children in the UK were victims of abuse of children of some year, “and the internet aspect of this is an increasing and growing part of it.”
The Internet Watch (IWF) Foundation, a British non -profit organization that focused on the fight against internet abuse, warned of an increasing number of AI images of sex abuse.
During a 30 -day period in 2024, IWF analysts identified 3,512 AI images of abuse of children on one dark website. The number of the most serious categories of paintings also increased by 10 percent of the year, he revealed.
