The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings numerous benefits, but also poses significant risks, particularly concerning the creation and sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), also referred to as AI-CSAM. The National Crime Agency’s CEOP Education programme have collaborated with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and the SBNI Online Safety Committee to develop guidance for all professionals working with children and young people.

The guidance will help to:

  • Develop your understanding of some of the ways AI can be used to create CSAM
  • Answer your AI-CSAM related questions
  • Provide you steps on how to respond effectively to an AI-CSAM incident in your setting
