Utah bill looks to strengthen child exploitation laws against AI-generated porn on Feb. 6, 2024. Utah lawmakers are quickly working to clarify the child exploitation law to ensure the generation of child pornography videos using artificial intelligence is illegal.
Lawmakers acknowledge the challenge of keeping up with the swiftly evolving capabilities of AI, which, while promising for beneficial applications, also poses risks when exploited by malicious actors. "Now people that don't necessarily have a ton of capabilities are able to generate content, images, videos very quickly with little to no technical expertise, and they can use that capability for great good but it can also be misused," Amacher said.
