Image generation is also used for crimes against children — this is the kind of harm new laws are being written to address.
The UK's Internet Watch Foundation, which tracks such material worldwide, assessed 6,310 images meeting the criminal definition — 40% more than in all of 2025 (more than 4,500). Most depict girls and children aged 7–13. The foundation believes a separate SI law is needed.
