The letter sent to Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate also urges politicians to expand existing restrictions on child sexual abuse materials to specifically cover AI-generated images and videos. This technology is extremely new and, as such, there\u2019s nothing on the books yet that explicitly places AI-generated images in the same category as other types of child sexual abuse materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are engaged in a race against time to protect the children of our country from the dangers of AI,\u201d the prosecutors wrote in the letter. \u201cIndeed, the proverbial walls of the city have already been breached. Now is the time to act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using image generators like Dall-E and Midjourney to create child sexual abuse materials isn\u2019t a problem, yet, as the software has guardrails in place<\/a> that disallows that kind of thing. However, these prosecutors are looking to the future when open-source versions of the software begin popping up everywhere, each with its own guardrails, or lack thereof. Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has stated that AI tools would benefit from government intervention<\/a> to mitigate risk, though he didn\u2019t mention child abuse as a potential downside to the technology.<\/p>\n

The government tends to move slowly when it comes to technology, for a number of reasons,<\/a> as it took Congress several years before taking the threat of online child abusers<\/a> seriously back in the days of AOL chat rooms and the like. To that end, there\u2019s no immediate sign that Congress is looking to craft AI legislation that absolutely prohibits generators from creating this kind of foul imagery. Even the European Union\u2019s sweeping Artificial Intelligence Act<\/a> doesn\u2019t specifically mention any risk to children.<\/p>\n

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson organized the letter-writing campaign and has encouraged colleagues to scour state statutes to find out if \u201cthe laws kept up with the novelty of this new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson warns of deepfake content that features an actual child sourced from a photograph or video. This wouldn\u2019t be child abuse in the conventional sense, Wilson says, but would depict abuse and would \u201cdefame\u201d and \u201cexploit\u201d the child from the original image. He goes on to say that \u201cour laws may not address the virtual nature\u201d of this kind of situation.<\/p>\n

The technology could also be used to make up fictitious children, culling from a library of data, to produce sexual abuse materials. Wilson says this would create a \u201cdemand for the industry that exploits children\u201d as an argument against the idea that it wouldn't actually be hurting anyone.<\/p>\n

Though the idea of deepfake child sexual abuse is a rather new one, the tech industry has been keenly aware of deepfake pornographic content, taking steps to prevent it. Back in February, Meta, OnlyFans and Pornhub began using an online tool called Take It Down<\/a> that allows teens to report explicit images and videos of themselves from the Internet. This tool is used for regular images and AI-generated content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
