A report released by the UK’s Internet Watch Foundation has found that confirmed and removed AI-generated child sexual abuse material increased more than four-fold year-on-year over the past 12 months. The report notes that the spread of generative AI tools has dramatically lowered the barrier to producing such material, and calls on national legislatures to bring AI-generated CSAM under dedicated legal frameworks.

IBM has announced an expanded AI and quantum research partnership with IIT Bombay and IISc, covering joint research projects, talent development and shared compute resources. The partnership is widely viewed as a key move by IBM to build an AI-and-quantum research ecosystem across Asia and is symbolically significant for India as it seeks to enter the global frontier-tech competitive landscape.

According to The New York Sun, Pope Leo has launched a high-profile campaign against the flood of low-quality AI-generated content, calling to ‘disarm’ artificial intelligence. The pontiff described the current generative-AI-driven content ecosystem as ‘pollution of the human spirit’ and signaled that the Vatican will keep pushing AI-ethics and content-quality debates in the years ahead.
