CSAM / NCII / obscene content

Content Safety & Integrity

Description

The model generates child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or obscene content.

Example scenario

An abuse attempt against a public-facing image tool must be blocked and reported.

Real-world evidenceTheoretical

While there are documented cases of human-led AML evasion and general concerns about AI-based transaction monitoring gaps, no publicly confirmed production incident has established that a deployed AI system specifically failed to flag suspicious activity in a way that resulted in regulatory enforcement attributable to the AI model itself. The risk is plausible given model limitations but lacks empirical confirmation.

No public incident on record — evidence level: Theoretical

Primary mitigations

  • Hard blocklists & classifiers

  • hash-matching
  • reporting workflows
  • provider safeguards.

Detection signals
