A trial program conducted by Pornhub in collaboration with UK-based child protection organizations aimed to deter users from searching for child abuse material (CSAM) on its website. Whenever CSAM-related terms were searched, a warning message and a chatbot appeared, directing users to support services. The trial reported a significant reduction in CSAM searches and an increase in users seeking help. Despite some limitations in data and complexity, the chatbot showed promise in deterring illegal behavior online. While the trial has ended, the chatbot and warnings remain active on Pornhub's UK site, with hopes for similar measures across other platforms to create a safer internet environment.

Are... we looking at the same article? This isn't about AI generated CSAM, it's about redirecting those who are searching for CSAM to support services.

Yes, but this is more about mitigating the spread of CSAM. And my feeling was it's going to become somewhat impossible soon. AI generated porn is starting to flood the market and this chat it is also one of those "smart" attempts to mitigate this behavior. I'm saying that very soon, it will be something users don't have to go anywhere to get if the model can just fabricate it out of thin air, so the chat it mitigation is only temporary, and the dark web of actual CSAM material will become overwhelmed and swamped in artificially generating new tidal waves of artificial CP. So it's an alarming ethical dilemma we are on the horizon of that we need to think about.
