In a speech delivered on 9 July 2026, European Commissioner Lahbib addressed the growing threat posed by artificial intelligence technology to minors. Drawing attention to the ease with which digital tools can be used to manipulate personal photographs, Lahbib illustrated a scenario in which a social media image of a 15-year-old girl is processed through an AI application to produce explicit content without consent.

This statement, released by the European Commission, focuses on the dangers of such technology being used to create harmful and non-consensual images. The address at the OECD forum emphasises the urgent need to consider the impact of AI developments on the safety and well-being of young social media users.
