The FBI keeps informing the public about how explicit online activities involving minors are illegal but despite such concerns, it’s alarming to see how AI technology is worsening the matter.
Yes, the FBI wants the world to know that such acts are prohibited under law and the news comes at a time when there is growing pressure to bring an end to the ordeal.
The statement on this front was issued on Friday where the FBI added how it was about time for a public service announcement to be made to warn individuals against such behavior entailing the use of AI technology to produce abusive materials where kids were exploited.
The law also boldly states how this activity can no longer be tolerated as it entails the production, marketing, distribution, as well as sales of content for access and possession to the general public. What is even more alarming is how realistic these pictures appear.
It’s not a surprise that such an increase in Generative AI technology has caused an uproar amongst the masses. The levels of porn generated through AI means is on the rise. The same kind of technology also is giving rise to smaller figures for tech users who can produce pictures and videos through a simple text prompt.
The FBI mentioned the news after one American Rep added during the press conference of the House that more needs to be done on the FBI’s part regarding prosecuting creators who produce such content or are involved in the illegal business of production. After all, while some might believe kids are not hurt along the way, the impact this kind of material is having on the minds of youngsters is overwhelming, to say the least.
The initial FBI probe on this matter added how the agency is working hard in terms of finding those responsible and bringing them to justice. As it is, two had been convicted in the past year for having such pictures in their possession. In a certain example, one defendant mentioned how they were making use of AI to produce pictures featuring minors.
In another shocking case, defendants had images that ended up superimposing child actor faces onto naked human structures and those were displayed as taking part in explicit acts like intimacy.
Furthermore, the FBI added how these kinds of pictures produced online are quite difficult to differentiate in regards to what is real and what’s fake. Therefore, it’s getting prosecuted under the American federal law under the theme of kids’ porn.
Whatever the case may be, there are still plenty of other people who feel America must stay up to date on what’s going on in its surroundings and therefore allow for amendments to its laws as this activity is illegal from every angle.
In September of 2023, we saw another bunch of state attorneys who were urging Congress to act by allowing for the expansion of limitations on abusive content produced by kids via AI. This was done to make sure prosecutors carried the right kind of tools to ensure kids remained guarded at all times.
