Tech Giant Google Discloses Scale of AI-Generated Terrorism Content Complaints
Google has informed Australian authorities it received more than 250 complaints globally over nearly a year that its artificial intelligence software was used to make deepfake terrorism material, highlighting the growing concern about AI-generated harm. The tech giant also reported dozens of user reports warning about its AI program Gemini being used to create child abuse material. The disclosures underscore the need for better guardrails around AI technology to prevent such misuse.
