“What we’re starting to see is this explosion of content,” Sexton said. Some are also trading and attempting to profit off such images that appear increasingly lifelike. What IWF analysts found were abusers sharing tips and marveling about how easy it was to turn their home computers into factories for generating sexually explicit images of children of all ages. That led to an investigation into forums on the so-called dark web, a part of the internet hosted within an encrypted network and accessible only through tools that provide anonymity. Sexton said his charity organization, which is focused on combating online child sexual abuse and working with others to remove it, first began fielding reports about abusive AI-generated imagery earlier this year. “They’re taking existing real content and using that to create new content of these victims,” he said. Sexton said IWF analysts discovered faces of famous children online as well as a “massive demand for the creation of more images of children who’ve already been abused, possibly years ago.”
