US investigators are using AI to detect child abuse images made by AI
US investigators are turning to AI to combat the surge in child sexual abuse images created by AI technology. The Department of Homeland Security has awarded a $150,000 contract to Hive AI to use its software to distinguish AI-generated content from real victim material. The rise in generative AI incidents has made it challenging for investigators to prioritize cases involving actual victims, prompting the need for automated tools like Hive AI's detection algorithms. By identifying AI-generated images, investigators can focus on cases with real victims, enhancing their impact and protecting vulnerable individuals. Hive AI's tools, including deepfake-detection technology, are being utilized to combat child sexual abuse material and other harmful content online.
