Amazon recently reported child sexual abuse material (CSAM) while reviewing AI training data to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The official authority received more than a million reports related to the CSAM, and a huge chunk of them were reported by Amazon alone. However, some critics have raised questions about the lack of clear details in the company’s official report.

Amazon reports CSAM in AI training data to the child safety authority. An investigation reported by Bloomberg reveals that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received more than one million AI-related CSAM reports in 2025. Most of those reports came from Amazon. The tech giant said it detected the material while scanning data from outside sources used to train its AI systems. The company further stated it could not identify the source of the content.

The officials at NCMEC says number of reports from Amazon stood out. The Executive Director, Fallaon McNuty, adds that other companies usually provide enough detail for law enforcement to act. However, Amazon failed to attach the source information, which made the reports difficult to use. She further says that this raises serious questions about how AI training data is gathered. The report also emphasizes the need for proper safety checks and how they can be used across platforms.

Amazon says it remains committed to the responsive use and development of AI and child safety protections. Moreover, this is not the first time that the moral values of AI firms and developers have questioned. Several lawsuits have been filed against companies, including OpenAI, Character.AI, and Meta, for related offenses.
