Already today, millions of children are being subjected to sexual abuse when their images are manipulated, according to the UN children's rights agency UNICEF.
An estimated 1,2 million children in 11 countries have had their images manipulated into sexually explicit deepfakes in the past year, the UN children's rights agency UNICEF said in a report. statement who, together with the children's rights organization ECPAT and the international police organization INTERPOL they investigate how technology is used in the exploitation of children.
So-called deepfakes, images, videos or sounds created or altered with the help of artificial intelligence to appear real, are increasingly being used for this purpose. In so-called “nudification”, generative AI tools are used to remove or alter a person’s clothing on picture or video.
– Deepfake abuse is abuse, and there is nothing fake about the harm they cause, type UNICEF.
The regulations are not keeping up with the rapid spread of generative AI, which means that children risk being left without sufficient protection, the organization says.They are calling for, among other things, strengthened security measures at technology companies and platforms to protect children from AI abuse.
