Child safety org flags new CSAM with AI trained on real child sex abuse images

AI will make it harder to spread CSAM online, child safety org says.

Today, a prominent child safety organization, Thorn, in partnership with a leading cloud-based AI solutions provider, Hive, announced the release of an AI model designed to flag unknown CSAM at upload. It’s the earliest AI technology striving to expose unreported CSAM at scale.

      So you need to have a model that generates CP to begin with. Flawless reasoning there.

      Look, it’s clear you have no clue what you’re talking about. Stop demonstrating it, moron.

        The model I use (I forget the name) popped out something pretty sus once. I wouldn’t describe it as CP, but it was definitely weird enough to really make me uncomfortable. It’s the only thing it ever made that I immediately deleted and removed from the recycling bin too lol.

        The point I’m making is that this isn’t as far fetched as you believe.

        Plus, you can merge models. Get a general purpose model that knows what children look like, a general purpose pornographic model, merge them, then start generating and selecting images based on Thorn’s classifier.

          You can’t merge a generative model and a classification model. You can run then in series to get a bunch of false positives/hallucinations, but you can’t make it generate something from the other model.

            When I said a “general purpose model that knows what children look like” I didn’t mean the classification model from the article. I meant a normal, general purpose image generation model. When I said “that knows what children look like” I mean part of its training set is on children, because it’s sort of trained a little on everything. When I said “pornographic model” I mean a model trained exclusively on NSFW content (and not including any CSAM, but that may be generous depending on how much care was out into the model’s creation).
