Swatting calls and hoax threats cause fear and potentially dangerous interactions with law enforcement. These incidents are a daily
occurrence, often come in clusters across the U.S., and are typically made to harass, intimidate, and/or retaliate against their intended target.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is rapidly evolving — and with it, there are new threats to online safety. For example, online predators use generative AI (GAI) to create morphed or fake child sexual abuse
material (CSAM) and then sometimes engage in blackmail schemes targeting kids. This technology is also being used by kids and teens to target their peers.

The purpose of this white paper is to encourage faster action against abusive AI-generated content by policymakers,
civil society leaders, and the technology industry. As we navigate this complex terrain, it is imperative that the public and private sectors and government come together to address
this issue head-on.
