What state laws protect kids against AI-generated deepfakes?
Governors in over a dozen states have enacted laws this year targeting AI-generated child sexual abuse material, ensuring local prosecutors can pursue charges for such offenses. For example, California’s recent legislation clarifies that AI-generated child sexual abuse content is illegal under state law.
In Pennsylvania, a new law criminalizing AI-generated explicit images involving minors is set to take effect soon.
These legislative efforts aim to address the rapid advancement of AI technologies that facilitate the creation of realistic yet fictitious explicit content, posing significant challenges to law enforcement and the protection of minors.
