Meta Takes Stand Against Misuse of Generative AI for Child Exploitation
With an increasing stream of generative AI images flowing across the web, Meta has announced its commitment to a new set of AI development principles aimed at preventing the misuse of such tools for child exploitation. The “Safety by Design” program, initiated by Thorn and All Tech is Human, outlines key approaches for platforms to undertake in their generative AI development.
According to Thorn, the misuse of generative AI technologies has profound implications for child safety, and collective action is needed to mitigate such misuse. Meta has joined other tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI in signing up to the program.
