UK plans pre-release AI testing to prevent child abuse imagery

An abstract digital art piece showcasing a variety of larger silhouetted figures representing children and teenagers, depicted in a highly stylized, silhouette form. The figures are deliberately oversized and dominate the canvas, emphasizing their presence within a digital data stream. The background zooms further into the vibrant red and blue digital glitch patterns, with dense vertical streaks symbolizing streams of data and signal noise. Each figure is reduced to its most basic, recognizable shape, lacking detail but clearly suggestive of youth. Around them, digital identifiers and tags float with a subtle glow, against the reflective surface that's intricately patterned with binary code, creating a powerful visual metaphor for the digital age
