If you're using generative AI tools, there's a pretty good chance you're generating imagery with child porn training data behind the scenes.

@scottgal that doesn't mean using child sexual abuse material images to train AI is okay.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-01-29/amazon-found-child-sex-abuse-in-ai-training-data@GossiTheDog this sounds pretty unbelievable tbh. LAION having "thousands" was a big public thing forcing re-release of the dataset. Others just piling on after this was discovered with no detection algorithms having been used??
Amazon should really publish this information.

@GossiTheDog @scottgal they say they're not training on it, it was detected before training. But that's not the point. Amazon got the stuff from somewhere, and a decent person would report where it came from so that the rozzers can trace it back upstream. I flat out don't believe Amazon's claim to not know where it came from, they must know, because they must have got copyright clearance for making a derivative work from all that content

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-01-29/amazon-found-child-sex-abuse-in-ai-training-data@GossiTheDog Can’t read the article so this is speculation: Amazon admitted having lots of CSAM but refuses to tell where they downloaded from? I thought holding on to CSAM is a crime in self, but as usual rules do not apply to big tech. And where did the material came from? Secret access to customer data they refuse to disclose?
