A sex offender convicted of making more than 1,000 indecent images of children has been banned from using any “AI creating tools” for the next five years in the first known case of its kind.
Anthony Dover, 48, was ordered by a UK court “not to use, visit or access” artificial intelligence generation tools without the prior permission of police as a condition of a sexual harm prevention order imposed in February.
The ban prohibits him from using tools such as text-to-image generators, which can make lifelike pictures based on a written command, and “nudifying” websites used to make explicit “deepfakes”.
Dover, who was given a community order and £200 fine, has also been explicitly ordered not to use Stable Diffusion software, which has reportedly been exploited by paedophiles to create hyper-realistic child sexual abuse material, according to records from a sentencing hearing at Poole magistrates court.
How you will enforce this kind of politics? I just buy a VPN, use proxychains or annonsurf, what you gonna do? put a police to live in the same room as I live?
Install spyware on your devices, one would assume.
I think it would be hard to enforce but it’s an interesting precedent, and it means that if they catch them they can whack him

Come on, they’re raising concerns about how this ruling will be made effective. An actual criminal would just stay silent and use the VNP.
