India, Feb. 3 -- Britain will become the first nation in the world to make laws against the use of AI tools that are used to generate sexual abuse images, a government minister said.

The Home Office said the UK will now become the first nation to make it illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Offenders will reportedly face up to five years of jail term.

As per the new law, possessing AI paedophile manuals will also be made illegal in the UK.

People found possessing it will face up to three years in prison.

The manual is used to teach people about how to use AI for sexual abuse.

Cooper said AI was "industrialising the scale" of sexual abuse against children.
