A man in Florida, USA, was arrested for allegedly using artificial intelligence to generate child pornography, facing up to 20 obscenity charges. This cinema worker distributed AI-generated child pornography images on the social app Kik, raising widespread concern. The case involves the abuse of generative artificial intelligence, prompting lawmakers at various levels to push for legislation to ban the distribution of inappropriate content. Last year, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received 4,700 related reports, including extortion cases involving deepfake images of real children created using generative AI.
