CBC報道，愛德華王子島騎警估計，其轄區約三分之一網絡兒童性侵害調查已涉及AI生成材料。這是該省騎警轄區的估計，不包括Charlottetown、Summerside和Kensington，不能擴大成全加拿大或全省所有警方案件比例。
紐芬蘭St. John’s一名17歲少年今年夏天面對58項相關控罪，警方指其篡改19名未成年人的影像；這些指控仍須司法程序裁定。兒童保護研究者警告，合成影像可能被用來勒索，並可能強化對性剝削內容的需求，不能把它視爲沒有受害人的虛構。
專家認爲減少公開的兒童影像與個人資料可以降低被濫用的機會，但無法保證完全避免風險。兒童即使曾自己發佈照片，也不應爲他人的違法制作或傳播承擔責任。懷疑遭遇相關傷害時，可向警方或加拿大兒童網絡保護舉報平臺Cybertip.ca尋求處理。
