A report has revealed that a database used to train AI image generators contains over 1,000 instances of child sexual abuse material. The database, LAION-5B, used to train popular AI tools, has been found to have explicit images of children. The Stanford Internet Observatory discovered more than 3,200 images of suspected child sexual abuse in the dataset, urging companies to take action. The revelation has raised ethical concerns and highlighted the urgent need for regulatory oversight of AI systems. The presence of child sexual abuse material in AI training data has prompted the removal of the dataset, emphasizing the need for better safeguards on AI training materials.
