🚨 UNICEF Calls to Criminalize AI‑Generated Child Abuse 🚸🤖

UNICEF is sounding the alarm on the explosion of AI‑generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), urging governments worldwide to criminalize its creation, possession, and distribution.

- 1.2M children across 11 countries had their images manipulated into sexual deepfakes in the past year.

- In South Korea, AI‑linked sexual offenses surged 10x between 2022–2024, many involving teenagers.

- The UK’s watchdog flagged 14,000 suspected AI‑generated child abuse images in just one month.

- France raided X’s Paris offices after its AI chatbot Grok allegedly generated 23,338 child abuse images in 11 days.

- EU, UK, Australia, and Asia-Pacific regulators are investigating or banning Grok.

📢 UNICEF’s Demands

- Expand laws to explicitly cover AI‑generated CSAM.

- Criminalize creation, possession, procurement, and distribution.

- Require child rights impact assessments before AI models are released.

- Enforce safety‑by‑design standards for tech companies.
