An exploratory study of Dark Web forum member chats relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) produced child sexual abuse material (CSAM) found that:
• Dark Web forum members were active in teaching themselves how to create AI produced CSAM. Self-teaching appeared relatively easy, through accessing online tutorials and simply practising from their computer at home.
• They were also actively sharing knowledge and advice on creating AI CSAM with other forum members, in order to encourage others to produce AI CSAM.
• As part of this learning process, Dark Web forum members were sharing real CSAM for ‘training’ the software, and practising AI CSAM production skills.
• There was evidence that some forum members were moving from the creation of ‘softcore’ AI CSAM to ‘hardcore’. This material was then shared with other forum members, and they were encouraged to create such material themselves.
• The research findings highlight complex challenges for law enforcement and other entities that are mandated to prevent and combat the creation and sharing of CSAM.
