AI Supercharges Child Abuse
Big Sister is not in the business of scare mongering but builds awareness for parents and care givers of the online threats as they emerge.
With every awareness post of online dangers, we provide tangible help in the form of Big Sister’s tech to identify dangers and deal with them before they escalate.

If a person sees nudified pictures everywhere, and they can practice their abuse on a doll, they might begin to talk to AI chat bots for advice. They'd ask whether their urges are normal? Are they right? They'd certainly not chat to a real life person about it would they?! But Chat bots are designed to echo our thoughts back to us to keep us engaged. AI chat bots just encourage their actions. We have plenty of examples which show AI chat bots have ineffective guardrails for sensitive conversations. Here are some alleged cases of chat bots encouraging people to suicide and even murder-suicide. Big Sister expects to see cases where child abuse was justified and encouraged by chat bots next.

What to Do As a Care Giver
Become aware of what your child is consuming online through conversations and using Big Sister.
Discuss issues with children in a age appropriate way using the help resources in Big Sister. Keeping open conversations going will mean you’re approached for advice rather than feared.
Try to reduce your vulnerability to threats- you could refrain from posting pictures of your children online, you could remove their pictures from your social media, you could consider restricting your child’s access to the internet, to chat bots and to social media particularly for younger people or vulnerable children.
