  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

NEW YORK — Generative Artificial Intelligence, a type of AI that can create new content like text, images, audio and videos, is now being used by human traffickers to entice and exploit children, an official with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has warned.

Speaking at the national launch of global anti-human trafficking organization A21's “Can You See Me?” awareness campaign on Monday, Staca Shehan, vice president at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said last year alone, nearly 5,000 instances of Generative AI were used or attempted to be used to exploit a child.

Use of the technology to exploit children is one of the reasons why the national nonprofit, which aims to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization, released its Take It Down tool last year, which helps combat child sexual exploitation by enabling youth to remove sexually explicit images of themselves from the internet, according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
