Nevada Legislators led by Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro have introduced a bill aimed at addressing the growing issue of AI-generated child pornography. The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Joe Dalia and Assemblymember Melissa Hardy, expands the definition of child pornography to include sexually explicit computer-generated images of actual minors, or the creation of such images where the subject is indistinguishable from a minor. The legislators emphasized the importance of updating laws to keep children safe online and provide law enforcement with better tools to investigate and prosecute individuals using AI technology for exploitation.
Cannizzaro, Dalia, and Hardy all emphasized the need to protect the innocence and safety of children and prevent the spread of AI-generated child exploitation. They cited recent arrests in Europe related to AI-generated child pornography as a reminder of the urgent need for legislation to address this issue. The bill has garnered bipartisan support and is seen as a crucial step in combating predators who use AI to create and distribute harmful material involving children.
