00:00Police are considering using artificial intelligence to help identify victims of online child abuse more quickly as cases continue to
00:08rise.
00:09Officers currently review thousands of distressing images and messages by hand, working to link victims to known cases or find
00:16those still at risk.
00:18More than 5,000 offences were investigated in the past year, with over 1,300 children needing safeguarding support.
00:26The technology could help speed up that process and reduce exposure to harmful material for staff.
00:33Senior officers say human judgment and oversight would remain central as discussions continue with technology companies about how these tools
00:41could be used safely.
