The decision could set a precedent for future monitoring of people convicted of indecent image offences

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.

    That’s why satisfy was in quotations, it’s not a black and white matter, for a lot of people this does nothing. But for alot of people this is something that is potentially life altering.

    And I agree with what you’re saying to an extent. But you watch porn to satisfy an urge, if I watch a certain category of porn it doesn’t mean I want to go out and experience that category.

    This is a complicated Matter, and someyhing a magistrate is not equipped to deal with.
