A Wisconsin man was arrested for allegedly producing, distributing, and possessing AI-generated images of minors in sexually explicit acts and transferring these images to a minor on the social media platform Instagram.
Forty-two-year-old Steven Anderegg, of Holmen, allegedly used a text-to-image generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model called Stable Diffusion to create thousands of realistic images of nude or semi-nude minors engaging in sexual acts, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
