OpenDream AI Platform Reportedly Commercialized AI-Generated CSAM and Non-consensual Deepfake Sexual Images

December 1, 2023

OpenDream, an AI image generation platform operated by CBM Media Pte Ltd, was reportedly used to generate and monetize AI-produced child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual deepfakes through its public gallery and NSFW tools. The content remained publicly accessible and searchable for months before any moderation took place in mid-2024. Subsequent actions included takedowns by Google and Bing, as well as the termination of ad and payment services.
