Gloria Masters: Handing The Shame Back Founder on AI contributing to child exploitation and abuse

The rise of generative AI could be putting children at risk.  Gloria Masters, founder of 'Handing The Shame Back', believes the current digital environment has enabled “much more sexualised content” of children to be available to predators.  AI tools allow people to remove clothing from people in photos, such as children, creating fake nude images they can then trade.  She told Kerre Woodham that share your photos with trusted friends and family members by all means, but the days of posting them on Facebook, Instagram, and other such platforms are gone.  According to Masters, research shows that 85% of online offenders become contact offenders, going on to abuse real children.  She says it’s important to stop giving predators a free pass and remove content so they can’t access it.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
