The Baby Commissioner says that the prohibition of AI applications is to create nude pictures of children

The Pediatric Commissioner in England calls on the government to prohibit applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) to create explicit sexual images for children.

Ms. Rachel de Souza said that there is a complete ban on applications that allow “update” – as real people’s photos are edited by artificial intelligence to make them look naked.

She said that the government allowed such applications “not to deter it with severe extremist consequences.”

A government spokesman said that sexual assault materials were illegal and that there are plans for more crimes to create, possess or distribute artificial intelligence tools designed to create this content.

Deepfakes are videos, photos or audio clips made of artificial intelligence to look real.

in Report published on Monday, Ms. Rachel said that technology was targeting girls and women inappropriately with many detailed applications that only work on female bodies.

Girls actively avoid publishing pictures or engaging on the Internet to reduce the risk of targeting them, according to the report, “in the same way that girls follow other rules to keep safe in the unconnected world – such as not walking at home at night.”

Children fear that “a stranger, classmate, or even a friend” can target them using techniques that can be found in search platforms and common social media.

Ms. Rachel said: “The development of these tools occurs on this range and speed so that it is often trying to obtain a grip on the danger they represent,” said Ms. Rachel.

“We cannot sit and allow these dedicated AI applications to have such a dangerous preparation for children’s lives.”

It is illegal under Online safety law To share or threaten to share explicit Deepfake photos.

The government announced in February Laws to deal with the threat of images of sexual assault on children generated by artificial intelligence, Which includes making illegal possessing, creating or distributing artificial intelligence tools designed to create such materials.

Ms. Rachel said that this does not go far enough, as her BBC spokeswoman told: “There should be no scaling applications, and not only any applications classified as generators of sexual assault on children.”

In February, Watch Internet (IWF) – a UK charitable organization, was partially funded by technology companies – 245 reports on sexual assault on children created in artificial intelligence in 2024 compared to 51 in 2023, an increase of 380 %.

“We know that these applications are being abused in schools, and the pictures soon go out of control,” said Derek Rai Hill, IWF CEO on Monday.

A government spokesman said that the creation, distribution, or distribution of sexual assault materials to children, including the photos created by artificial intelligence, “abusive and illegal.”

“In light of the platforms of the online safety law of all sizes, this type of content must now be removed, or they may face large fines,” they added.

“The UK is the first country in the world to offer more sexual assault crimes of children from artificial intelligence – which makes possessing, creating or distributing artificial intelligence tools designed to generate an outrageous sexual abuse.”

As long as Rachel also called on the government to:

• Imposing legal obligations on artificial intelligence developers to determine the risks that their products constitute with children and take measures to reduce these risks
• Prepare a systematic process to remove DEPFAKE sexy sexual internet from the Internet
• Depfake’s sexual assault as a form of violence against women and girls

Paul Whitman, Secretary -General of the School Leaders Syndicate, said members share the fears of the Commissioner.

He said: “This is a field that needs to be reviewed urgently, as technology risks the superiority of the law and education around it.”
