- Massachusetts is failing to keep kids safe online. It can start by criminalizing AI-generated child pornography
Massachusetts has not explicitly criminalized AI-generated child sexual abuse material, leaving a legal gap as such crimes rise nationally. The state faces a 77% increase in child exploitation reports since 2024, with Senate Bill S.2633 proposed to address the issue.
- Arizona indicts man for using AI to create child sex abuse images
Arizona has indicted William Powderly for creating AI-generated child pornography under a new law (HB2678) that equates AI-generated images with real child sexual abuse material. The law, supported by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, charges Powderly with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, with potential life probation if convicted.
