Over the years, artificial intelligence has been developing rapidly, allowing its users to generate all types of material, benefiting the user. However, with great technology comes great risk. One of these risks is deepfakes – generated or manipulated content e.g. image, audio, video that resembles existing persons, objects or other entities and would falsely appear to be truthful. This technology has created proliferation of a new phenomenon – deepfake child sexual abuse material, which poses a significant challenge for regulation and law enforcement – violation of the General Data Protection Regulation, number of difficulties investigating deepfake child sexual abuse material, increased usage of the “darknet”.
