zoe kleinman, bbc news.ligence is making it harder to identify children at risk of sexual abuse. graeme biggar was speaking in an annual speech, outlining the biggest crime threats facing the uk. obviously artificial intelligence is providing brilliant opportunities for society and indeed for law enforcement as well, to investigate crime better. but it is also being used by paedophiles to now create hyperrealistic images of children. they have used previous ai products to try and create deep fake videos but not to the same extent as they can now, and this causes a problem for us in two ways. one, it massively increases or gives the potential to massively increase the amount of images that are out there, which mean it's harder for us to identify who are real children that we can find and protect. then by increasing the amount as well, it also further normalises that behaviour and leads to further abuse, as i mentioned. the head of the national crime agency speaking there. angus crawford is here. you reported
