Law Enforcement Struggles to Prosecute AI-Generated Child Abuse Images
• Law enforcement is struggling to prosecute AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) as laws require images of real children.
• Attorneys general wrote Congress urging action as AI is used to exploit children and evade prosecution.
• The FBI asked Congress to address issues prosecuting individuals using AI to generate abusive images.
• AI-generated CSAM represents a small portion now but will likely grow due to the realism and accessibility of AI.
• Law enforcement lacks resources to investigate the overwhelming number of CSAM cases.
