US Attorneys General call for national law to combat AI CSAM

The National Association of Attorneys General has called on Congress to pass legislation to address AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The letter urges the appointment of an expert commission to study AI's role in child exploitation and recommends expanding existing CSAM restrictions to include AI-generated content. The AGs highlight the growing threat of deepfakes of children and the difficulty in detecting AI-generated CSAM, which may be trained on real illegal material. The proposed legislation aims to provide prosecutors with tools to combat this evolving threat and protect children from AI-fueled exploitation.
