Meta Commits to Prevent Misuse of Generative AI for Child Exploitation
[[REWRITTEN]]
Meta has announced its commitment to a new set of AI development principles aimed at preventing the misuse of generative AI tools for child exploitation. The “Safety by Design” program, initiated by Thorn and All Tech is Human, outlines key approaches for platforms using generative AI to safeguard against child sexual abuse material, stress test AI products, and invest in research for future technology solutions. The misuse of generative AI has profound implications for child safety, and collective action is needed to mitigate potential harm. Various reports have indicated that AI image generators are being used to create explicit images without consent, including of children, highlighting the critical need for platforms to eliminate misuse. Meta, along with other tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI, has signed up to the program to address these concerns.
