The attorneys general from all 50 states have banned together and sent an open letter to Congress, asking for increased protective measures against AI-enhanced child sexual abuse images, as originally reported by AP. The letter calls on lawmakers to "establish an expert commission to study the means and methods of AI that can be used to exploit children specifically." 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's nothing on the books yet that explicitly places AI-generated images in the same category as other types of child sexual abuse materials. "We are engaged in a race against time to protect the children of our country from the dangers of AI," the prosecutors wrote in the letter.
