How Generative AI Empowers Attackers and Defenders Across the Trust & Safety Landscape

Generative AI (GenAI) is a powerful technology poised to reshape Trust & Safety. While misuse by attackers is a growing concern, its defensive capacity remains underexplored. This paper examines these effects through a qualitative study with 43 Trust & Safety experts across five domains: child safety, election integrity, hate and harassment, scams, and violent extremism. Our findings characterize a landscape in which GenAI empowers both attackers and defenders. GenAI dramatically increases the scale and speed of…

Current reading — gain

Trust and Safety defenders can use generative AI to detect and mitigate harmful content at scale and support investigations and moderator wellbeing.

Current reading — problem

Generative AI increases the scale and speed of Trust and Safety attacks and lowers barriers to creating sophisticated propaganda and deepfakes.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings are based on a qualitative study of 43 experts and include envisioned defensive uses rather than measured deployments at scale.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0197 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
