The IWF said it also calls on technology companies to ensure that images of child abuse are not used . in the data they use to train their systems and that it cannot be used to create material.
The National Crime Agency said the explosion of fake child abuse images could make it difficult to keep real children suffering from abuse.
Chris Farrimond of the NCA said: “There is a very real possibility that the increase in AI-generated material could greatly impact law enforcement resources, increasing the time we need to identify real children in need protection.
