[UK] Children’s Commissioner calls for immediate ban of AI apps that enable ‘deepfake’ sexual abuse of children

• “I’m worried this could happen to me” – children tell Commissioner they fear becoming a victim of apps that use Generative AI to create sexually explicit images
• Widespread availability and misuse of AI tools makes it easier than ever to create explicit content, particularly against girls who are withdrawing from online spaces
• Commissioner demands immediate ban on apps that use AI to create naked images of children: “There is no positive reason for these to exist.”
