At least 25 arrests have been made during a worldwide operation against child abuse images generated by artificial intelligence (AI), the European Union's law enforcement organisation Europol has said. The suspects were part of a criminal group whose members engaged in distributing fully AI-generated images of minors, according to the agency. The operation is one of the first involving such child sexual abuse material and the lack of national legislation against these crimes made it "exceptionally challenging for investigators”, (CSAM), Europol says. Danish law enforcement led the arrests on Wednesday, and authorities from at least 18 other countries have been involved too.
