Description: Europol’s Operation Cumberland uncovered a global network distributing AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The operation has led to 25 arrests and 273 identified suspects across 19 countries. The AI-enabled abuse allows criminals to create exploitative content at scale with minimal expertise.
Editor Notes: Timeline notes: The first reported arrest was sometime in November 2024 of a Danish national, which led to the authorities uncovering an online platform distributing AI-generated CSAM. On February 26, 2025, Operation Cumberland was launched. The initial wave of actions reportedly led to 25 arrests, 33 house searches, and 173 seizures of electronic devices across 19 different countries. The investigation is ongoing.

Variantes
Une "Variante" est un incident qui partage les mêmes facteurs de causalité, produit des dommages similaires et implique les mêmes systèmes intelligents qu'un incident d'IA connu. Plutôt que d'indexer les variantes comme des incidents entièrement distincts, nous listons les variations d'incidents sous le premier incident similaire soumis à la base de données. Contrairement aux autres types de soumission à la base de données des incidents, les variantes ne sont pas tenues d'avoir des rapports en preuve externes à la base de données des incidents.
