Police in 20 countries have taken down a network that distributed images of child sexual abuse entirely generated by artificial intelligence.

The operation – which spanned European countries including the United Kingdom as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand – is "one of the first cases" involving AI-generated images of child sexual abuse material, Europe's law enforcement agency Europol, which supported the action, said in a press release.

Danish authorities led an operation, which resulted in 25 arrests, 33 house searches and 173 devices being seized.

Some what's agree, but imagine models are able to combine concepts to generate semi-novel images. You wouldn't need specifically child porn to generate child porn. Images of children, and images of porn, can be combine to create child porn.

But considering how indiscriminate AI crawlers have been, you can bet the training data does contain lots of it...
