总部位于英国的IWF今年已评估了6,310张符合儿童性虐待法律定义的AI图像，而2025年全年约为4,500张。

Abuse material monitor says number of AI images assessed this year is already 40% higher than last year’s total AI-generated child sexual abuse material is proliferating online, with the amount of illegal material investigated this year already exceeding the total for 2025.
互联网观察基金会（IWF）的分析师在2026年上半年发现的逼真儿童性虐待材料比前一整年还要多。总部位于英国、在全球监测滥用材料的IWF表示，该机构已评估了6,310张符合儿童性虐待法律定义的AI图像，比去年超过4,500张的总数高出40%。
Analysts at the Internet Watch Foundation have found more photorealistic child sexual abuse material in the first half of 2026 than for the whole of the prior year. The UK-based IWF, which monitors abuse material globally, said it had assessed 6,310 AI images that met the legal definition of child sexual abuse, 40% higher than last year’s total of more than 4,500.
AI制作的儿童性虐待材料实例已连续数年上升，视频激增尤为明显，尽管最新的IWF数据仅涉及静态图像。分析师看到的图像中，大多数受害者为女童，年龄在7至13岁之间。IWF表示，这些数据凸显了对AI实施新的法定监管的必要性。
Instances of AI-made child sexual abuse material have been rising for several years, with a huge surge in videos in particular although the latest IWF figures refer to still images only. The majority of the images seen by analysts were of girls, and of children aged seven to 13. The IWF said the figures underlined the need for new statutory regulation on AI.
安迪·伯纳姆领导的政府尚未发出将推出聚焦该技术的新法案的迹象。英国人工智能大臣卡尼什卡·纳拉扬表示，在新监管方面“一切皆有可能”，但任何立法提案的试金石将是：“它能否让英国民众更安全？”
Andy Burnham’s government has not signalled that a new bill focused on the technology is imminent. Kanishka Narayan, the UK’s AI minister, has said “nothing is off the table” in terms of fresh regulation, but that the test for any legislative proposal will be: “Will it make the British people safer?”
互联网监察基金会（IWF）政策主管汉娜·斯沃斯基表示，她支持议员们关于“针对人工智能的具有约束力的立法”的呼吁，以强制公司构建更安全的模型。她说：“科技公司有责任构建无法被以此方式滥用的工具。这是技术造成的问题，如果公司不构建设计上就安全的工具……”在英国，人工智能生成的儿童性虐待材料属于非法，政府还规定将人工智能模型改编为制作虐待材料、或向他人分发此类模型均属违法。开发旨在生成高度逼真儿童性虐待材料的模型，最高可判处五年刑期。
Hannah Swirsky, the head of policy at the IWF, said she backed calls from parliamentarians for “binding legislation on AI” to compel companies to build safer models. “It is incumbent on tech companies to build tools which cannot be abused this way,” she said. This problem has been created by technology, and if companies won’t build tools which are safe by design.”AI-generated child sexual abuse material is illegal in the UK and the government has also made it illegal to adapt an AI model to create abuse material or to distribute such models to others. Developing a model designed to produce hyper-realistic child sexual abuse material carries a criminal sentence of up to five years.
政府发言人表示：“英国法律明确规定，儿童性虐待材料属于非法，无论其是否由人工智能生成。我们正在进一步采取行动，禁止用于制作此类虐待材料并生成令人作呕、高度逼真图像（通常包含真实儿童肖像）的人工智能模型。” 人工智能还使网络掠食者能够制作儿童的露骨图像。Report Remove服务（可阻止私密图像出现在网上）已收到420份来自儿童的举报，涉及他们自认为被伪造或篡改成露骨内容的自身图像。这一数字已超过去年全年397份的总量。
A government spokesperson said: “UK law is clear that child sexual abuse material is illegal, regardless of whether it is AI-generated or not. We are going further by banning AI models that are used to create this type of abuse material and produce sickening, hyper-realistic imagery that often contains the likeness of real children.”AI has also enabled online predators to create explicit images of children. The Report Remove service, which blocks intimate images from appearing online, has received 420 reports from children concerning images of themselves that they believed had been faked or manipulated to appear explicit. The number has already exceeded its 2025 total of 397.
利用人工智能工具制作虐待工具的现象，导致国家犯罪局（NCA）和互联网监察基金会（IWF）敦促父母和监护人不要将孩子的照片发布在社交媒体上。指南建议将社交媒体账号设为私密，或仅通过“亲密好友”群组分享孩子的照片。
The use of AI tools to create abuse tools has led to the National Crime Agency and IWF encouraging parents and guardians to keep pictures of their children off social media. The guidance suggests making social media accounts private or sharing pictures of children through a “close friends” group only.
