The US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received 4,700 reports in 2022 about AI-generated child sexual exploitation content.

This reflects a growing problem expected to increase as AI tech advances, raising alarms among child safety experts.

In 2022, NCMEC received about 88.3 million total child abuse content reports from all sources.

Reports are coming from AI companies, online platforms, and the public.
