This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
A bit sensationalist there - article states he'd videoed minors in sexual acts. Probably what got him his well deserved prison stint.
Though I must say, the AI part alone should be enough to rule him out of a career around kids!
I missed that paragraph when I skimmed the article. Thanks!
The trial evidence cited by the government includes a secretly-made recording of a minor (a cousin) undressing and showering, and other videos of children participating in sex acts.
Edit: also, I wondered how he got caught, but this was probably how.
Behold - the only way made-up images could be CSAM. This fucker referenced actual children. (Worse: children he has access to, in a relationship of trust. Doing this for patients of any age is find-a-new-job territory, bare minimum.)
But AI is irrelevant here. It would be equally criminal to use scissors and glue, or MS Paint.
And I'm horrified by how many people think AI needs examples of the exact thing it's generating. People - it distills concepts, from labeled images. It can combine concepts. Like "steampunk space shuttle." Or "Little Tykes F1 car." Or "Margaret Thatcher naked." Even if no such image is in the training data. Even if (god willing) no such image exists.
Yes, AI can generate an image that is both a child and naked, even if it only has examples of clothed children and naked adults. It can generate an image that is both a horse and a hearse. Do you think it needs a real that's both at once, to generate a hallucination that's both at once?
You can report the presence of pedophilia over at https://www.cybertip.ca/en/report/report-form/ , https://www.europol.europa.eu/report-a-crime/report-illegal-content-on-the-internet , https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form , or just Google your particular country's page. It's quite easy and there's no reason for anyone not to.
