Police in 20 countries have taken down a network that distributed images of child sexual abuse entirely generated by artificial intelligence.
The operation – which spanned European countries including the United Kingdom as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand – is “one of the first cases” involving AI-generated images of child sexual abuse material, Europe’s law enforcement agency Europol, which supported the action, said in a press release.
Danish authorities led an operation, which resulted in 25 arrests, 33 house searches and 173 devices being seized.
How can anyone believe these models have a big pile of hyper-illegal go-to-jail images, labeled specifically for word-to-image training?
This technology combines concepts. That’s why it’s a big fucking deal. Generating a thousand images of Darth Shrektopus riding a horse on the moon does not imply a single example of exactly that. The model knows what children are - the model knows what pornography is. It can satisfy those unrelated concepts, simultaneously.
