The Internet Watch Foundation identified over 8,000 AI-generated child sexual abuse images and videos in 2025, including more than 3,400 hyper-realistic full-motion videos, with 65 per cent depicting the most severe forms of abuse under British law—rape, sexual torture, and bestiality. The report warns that AI tools have created an "infinite violations" landscape, as converging technologies and collapsing barriers enable offenders to generate extreme content with unprecedented ease and scale.
Guardii's anti-CSAM detection module, including its capability to identify AI-generated and deepfake child sexual abuse material, could have intercepted this content before it reached child victims or was weaponised for sextortion and grooming. As a world-leading AI online-safety platform and Meta Business Partner backed by Startmate, Guardii monitors children's direct messages and shared media in real time across Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, Roblox and other platforms, blocking or flagging hostile contact and preserving evidence for parents, schools, clubs and law enforcement by detecting threat patterns rather than reading every message. By stopping CSAM at the point of contact rather than relying on post-distribution takedown, Guardii addresses the operational gap that regulatory mandates and content moderation alone cannot close in the face of exponentially proliferating, synthetically generated abuse material.
