Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares joined a coalition of attorneys general from 54 U.S. states and territories urging Congress to study how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to create child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and to introduce legislation to make it easy to prosecute such crimes.
“AI use in the production of child sexual abuse materials is becoming increasingly prevalent. We are in a race against the clock to establish strong legal boundaries and protections that encompass artificial intelligence technologies and, more importantly, protect the safety and innocence of our children,” Mr. Miyares said in a statement.
