Dan Sexton
Dan Sexton is the Chief Technology Officer of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), an organization dedicated to combating online child sexual abuse. With a focus on the implications of artificial intelligence in this field, Sexton has raised concerns about the increasing sophistication of AI-generated images, which may complicate law enforcement's ability to identify and rescue real child victims. His insights highlight the urgent need for advanced technological tools to distinguish between real and synthetic content, as the IWF reported a staggering 300% increase in AI-generated material in 2024 compared to the previous year.
