Thousands of AI child pornography images can now be found all over the dark web, a phenomenon that analysts have referred to as a “predatory arms race.”

Moreover, these deepfake child-sex abuse materials (CSAM) have nearly tripled over the last year on one forum, according to online security firm ActiveFence.

Members of the forum also openly ask for “tips on finding CP trained models” and the spread of such information has helped drive the spike in child porn-related content.
