Guidance on AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Material

SBNI Online Safety Committee in partnership with the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), have created an essential guide for professionals working with children and young people to understand the risks of AI-generated child sexual abuse material.

This resource is specifically tailored for professionals in Northern Ireland and addresses the urgent and growing threat of AI-generated child sexual abuse material (AI-CSAM). The guide offers clear, practical advice on identifying and responding to AI-CSAM, and reinforces that this material must be treated with the same seriousness and safeguarding response as any other form of CSAM.
