Police in 20 countries have taken down a network that distributed images of child sexual abuse entirely generated by artificial intelligence.

The operation – which spanned European countries including the United Kingdom as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand – is "one of the first cases" involving AI-generated images of child sexual abuse material, Europe's law enforcement agency Europol, which supported the action, said in a press release.

Danish authorities led an operation, which resulted in 25 arrests, 33 house searches and 173 devices being seized.

I find the legal aspect of it fascinating because proving the age of a computer generated boob is impossible unless you have access to the actual prompt used to create it, and that prompt specifically asks for an image of CSAM. And even then, who's to say the system didn't use create most of the image from legal training data, and just had underage facial features. It'll be interesting to see how they prosecute and defend against these charges.
