We made it in the Telegraph

Hello everyone! ❤️

Firstly, thank you so much for your patience and continued support. I wanted to share an important update on my campaign for stronger AI regulations, particularly when it comes to protecting children.

Recently, I was featured in The Telegraph for speaking out against the growing number of AI-generated images involving the royal children. I'm incredibly grateful that this issue is receiving national attention, because we cannot continue to normalise the manipulation of real children's photographs for clicks, attention and social media engagement.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis should not have their photographs manipulated to invent a fictional sibling or create entirely fabricated scenes of them crying about returning to school. These are real children, with real families, whose images are being used to create events that never happened. It also undermines the work of the photographers who captured the original moments.

And this issue extends far beyond the Royal Family. Every child deserves protection from having their likeness misused, whether the person creating the content is another child or an adult.

My concerns about AI don't stop there. While the technology can be incredibly useful for productivity, I'm increasingly worried about its impact on creative industries. Reports about the use of AI-generated performers in China's film industry have raised further questions about the future of actors, artists, designers and other talented professionals who have spent years developing their skills.

Human creativity has value. Real photographs have value. And children's privacy should never be sacrificed for online engagement or cheaper content. Safeguarding is something I take incredibly seriously with my reporting and with my campaigning! 

I'm not campaigning against every use of AI. I'm campaigning for meaningful safeguards, stronger accountability and clear boundaries around the manipulation of real people's identities, especially those of minors.

We are already living in an online world where misinformation spreads rapidly. As AI-generated content becomes more convincing, distinguishing genuine photographs and videos from fabricated material will only become more difficult.

That's why I'm determined to keep pushing for change.

I'm enormously grateful to The Telegraph for covering this story, and I hope it encourages more newspapers, broadcasters and policymakers to take the issue seriously. This campaign is about protecting children, supporting authentic journalism and ensuring that technological progress doesn't come at the expense of people's rights.

And to everyone who has signed my petition, shared my posts or supported this campaign: thank you. We wouldn't be making progress without you.

Please continue signing, sharing and spreading the word. Every signature helps demonstrate that people want stronger protections against harmful AI-generated imagery.

I'll keep you all updated as the campaign progresses. We'

I am not stopping here! ❤️👑
