Google has disclosed that it received more than 250 complaints worldwide over a period of nearly a year regarding its artificial intelligence software being misused to generate deepfake terrorism material, according to the Australian eSafety Commission.

The technology giant, owned by Alphabet, also reported receiving dozens of user submissions alleging that its AI model, Gemini, had been exploited to create child abuse content. This revelation emerged as part of Google’s mandatory compliance with Australian law, which requires technology firms to periodically submit reports detailing their harm prevention measures, or risk financial penalties.
