Claim ID
malicious-actors
Assertion
In the context of AI-generated abuse imagery, malicious actors often use freely available models with safeguards removed, and could apply AI-indicating metadata or watermarks to real abuse imagery to make it less likely to be investigated.
Quote
Malicious actors generating this content on the Internet often use freely available models or build their own smaller models based on existing open-source code, from which they can easily remove safeguards. [...] In addition, malicious actors could attempt to make real CSAM less likely to be investigated, or make its victims less likely to be identified, by applying metadata or watermarks that suggest the content is AI-generated.
