Report Remove服务报告显示，英国儿童遭遇显性深度伪造图像的案例呈现快速增长态势。[1]该服务在2026年上半年共收到420份来自儿童的伪造或操纵图像报告，已经超过了2025年全年的397份总数。[1]互联网观察基金会警告，人工智能技术的进步使制作此类内容变得更加容易。[1]
大多数被报告的图像严重程度已达到儿童性虐待材料（CSAM）的标准。[1]部分受害者因此面临敲诈勒索威胁。[1]互联网观察基金会代表Dan Sexton指出："如果有人能从互联网上取一张儿童的良性图像并用它创建儿童性虐待材料，那孩子除了阻止任何人拍摄他们的照片或不在网上放置照片外，无法阻止这种情况发生。"[1]英国政府已采取立法行动，禁止改编人工智能模型制作虐待材料或向他人传播此类模型。[1]
A sharp increase in reports of sexually explicit deepfake images involving British children has emerged, according to data from the Report Remove service.[1] In the first half of 2026 alone, the service received 420 reports of manipulated images from children—a figure that already exceeds the total of 397 reports recorded throughout the entirety of 2025.[1] The Internet Watch Foundation has cautioned that advances in artificial intelligence technology have made the creation of such content considerably easier.[1]
The severity of the reported incidents is alarming.[1] The majority of manipulated images reported in both 2025 and 2026 meet the threshold for classification as child sexual abuse material (CSAM).[1] Some victims have faced sextortion threats as a result of their images being circulated.[1] As Dan Sexton has stated, if an individual can obtain a benign photograph of a child from the internet and use it to create sexual abuse material, "that child can do nothing to prevent this from happening, other than preventing anyone from ever taking their picture or never putting any pictures of themselves online."[1] The production of AI-generated CSAM remains illegal in the United Kingdom, and the government has enacted legislation prohibiting the fine-tuning of AI models to produce abuse material or the distribution of such models to others.[1]
