The Internet Watch Foundation has reported a dramatic surge in AI-generated child sex abuse material: a fourfold increase in just one year. Because this damaging content is harming children, I welcome the steps by the Government to tackle AI-generated child sex abuse material in the Bill and the fact that they recently announced changes to the Online Safety Act. The recent horrific case of Grok being used to generate child abuse images showed that the Act does not include the relevant provisions to tackle such abuse. It is therefore important that we have a regulatory system that tackles risks before they occur by embedding safety by design in AI platform models.
