Pedophiles have connected AI to the creation of child porn

Criminals sell images created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) through platforms with a paid subscription. To generate images depicting sexual abuse of children, pedophiles use the Stable Diffusion program, which is usually used by artists and designers.

Pedophiles are engaged in the creation of porn content with the participation of images of children «on an industrial scale, » writes the telegram channel «Base» with reference to the results of a study published in the British media.

As soon as it became known about the rapid spread of porn content from neural networks, representatives of the world's leading platforms declared their readiness to take measures against persons profiting from such images.

Representatives of the Patreon platform, through which the attackers began to distribute their «exclusive art without censorship» for money by subscription, announced a policy of «zero tolerance» for this kind of content. And the creators of Stable Diffusion officially banned the use of their software «for illegal or immoral purposes». Now the security forces are looking for distributors of child porn generated by neural networks. However, nothing has yet been reported about the facts of the detentions of suspects.
