Reform UK has removed reportedly AI-generated attack ads showing people in a small boat holding 'Vote Andy' placards bearing Stanley Chow's portrait of Andy Burnham, after the illustrator's lawyers alleged copyright infringement and reportedly sought at least £5,000. Reform calls its use fair use and the action politically motivated, and says it removed the posts without admitting liability.
Cantabria prosecutors are seeking ten years and ten months in prison for a man they accuse of taking more than 8,000 photos and videos of naked children under 16 on Santander's beaches and keeping hyperrealistic AI-generated images of naked minors. Spotted in July 2024, he allegedly fled, tried to delete files and assaulted a police officer; a preliminary hearing is set for 8 June.
A 40-year-old Novara man is under investigation, accused of downloading a young woman's non-sexual social media photos, 'undressing' them with AI and spreading them on Telegram, where hundreds of people could see them. Police searched him and his devices after her complaint last December; the Novara questura says it found material relating to other victims still being identified.
A Minnesota man has been charged after a Google cybertip flagged an account that uploaded 798 suspected child sexual abuse images and videos. A probable cause statement filed June 4 alleges he admitted using an AI image app to remove clothing from photos of children found online, saying he had 'taken it too far'; he is also accused of recording sexual conduct involving a child.
The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh found that a Srinagar trial court order from October 2025 relied on two judgments with incorrect citations, one of which could not be traced 'despite diligent search'. Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal upheld the order anyway and, without saying how the errors arose, told judicial officers to independently verify any citation obtained through AI tools.
GitHub disabled 73 repositories across four Microsoft organisations after the self-replicating Miasma worm planted a credential-stealing payload wired to run automatically through Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code and the npm test script. Opening a cloned repo in an AI coding agent is enough; the worm then uses stolen tokens to commit itself to other repositories the victim can write to.
