Proposed law provides that it is unlawful for a person to use an image of a child who was under 17 years of age at the time the image was created with the intent to train an artificial intelligence model to produce child sexual abuse materials.
Proposed law also provides that a minor depicted in child sexual abuse materials is not required to be a natural person, i.e., actually exist, for a violation to take place.
Present law defines "child sexual abuse materials" as any photograph, videotape, film, or other reproduction, whether electronic or otherwise, of any sexual performance involving a child under the age of 17.
Proposed law changes the definition of "child sexual abuse materials" to undeveloped film, videotape, or data stored on a computer disk or by electronic means that is capable of conversion into a visual image, and also includes any photograph, film, video, picture, digital image or picture, computer image or picture, or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of any sexual performance involving a child under the age of 17. Proposed law also provides that "child" includes both a natural person under the age of 17 and an image or other visual representation of a child under the age of 17 that is created or generated by electronic or digital means, including artificial intelligence.
