Finding: “An estimated 1.1 million children aged 12–17 had AI-generated sexual images or videos
created depicting them.”
Table overview: Table A08 presents the estimated number and weighted prevalence of internetusing children aged 12–17 in each of the nine countries included in the second round of the Disrupting
Harm study who reported that artificial intelligence was used to create sexual images or videos
depicting them during a one-year period preceding the survey. These estimates are based on data
collected between 2024 and 2025. The table also presents the sum of the country-level population
estimates and the average prevalence across the nine countries included in the analysis.

Commentary: Across the nine countries included here, the proportion of children who reported
that AI-generated sexual images or videos had been created depicting them in the previous year
ranged from 0.4 per cent to 4.3 per cent, with an overall average of 2.0 per cent. This demonstrates
a wide variation between countries, highlighting that children’s experiences differ substantially
across contexts, with similar caveats as in relation to overall prevalence. It should be noted that
children surveyed may be unaware of existing AI-generated images or videos depicting them, so
these figures may be underestimated.
