--- title: Resources for Trust and Safety | Safer, Built by Thorn description: We’re committed to providing resources and solutions to help content-hosting platforms thwart the spread of child sexual abuse material and child sexual exploitation at scale. --- # Practical Resources for Digital Governance [![26\_Safer\_ResourcesLP\_SolutionsforAI](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/26_Safer_ResourcesLP_SolutionsforAI.jpg "26_Safer_ResourcesLP_SolutionsforAI")](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/Safer/Safer%20One%20Pagers/25_Thorn_SolutionsForAI_FNL_051225.pdf?hsLang=en) ## **SOLUTIONS FOR AI** ## Protect your AI model from misuse As AI capabilities advance, child safety safeguards must keep pace. Models can be exploited to create AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM), facilitate child sexual exploitation, and lower barriers to harmful behavior. Build child safety into the AI development lifecycle with guardrails designed to reduce the risk of AI-facilitated sexual abuse. Get child safety considerations and solutions to help you take a Safety by Design approach at every stage of the ML/AI lifecycle.  [GET THE CHECKLIST](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/Safer/Safer%20One%20Pagers/25_Thorn_SolutionsForAI_FNL_051225.pdf?hsLang=en) --- [![26\_Safer\_ResourcesLP\_Perpetrators](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/26_Safer_ResourcesLP_Perpetrators.jpg "26_Safer_ResourcesLP_Perpetrators")](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/2024_OnlineCommunities/24_Safer_OnlineCommunities_BadActorProfiles.pdf?hsLang=en) ## Your users may not be who you think they are  **Here’s what tech leaders need to know** How minors actually use digital products has implications for platform safety—from underage access to seeking advice from AI after online sexual interactions. Thorn’s one-page briefing shares key research findings and three practical steps platforms can take to strengthen their safety strategies.

Learn the types of challenges related to and recommendations to mitigate AIG-CSAM.

VSCO wanted to enhance its tooling to prevent the distribution of CSAM. For this, it needed an industry-leading detection tool.

If your platform counts minors among its users, this quick reference guide provides critical considerations for your team as you design policies and interventions.  [GET THE GUIDE](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/Safer/Safer%20One%20Pagers/25_Thorn_POV_GroomingSextortion_FNL.pdf?hsLang=en) [![26\_Safer\_ResourcesLP\_Policy](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/26_Safer_ResourcesLP_Policy.jpg "26_Safer_ResourcesLP_Policy")](https://get.safer.io/hubfs/2024_OnlineCommunities/24_Safer_OnlineCommunities_PolicyFlywheel.pdf?hsLang=en) ## Child safety policy improvement cycle **See the virtuous cycle that maintains a strong child safety policy** Child safety policies should be regularly updated to keep pace with emerging risks. Internal assessments are a key way to do just that, creating important feedback loops that support continuous improvement of your policy and ensuring it stays relevant over time.
