Illinois bill to clarify illegal AI imagery

A new bill in Illinois is headed to the Gov. JB Pritzker’s desk.

The bill clarifies the state’s laws governing artificial intelligence (AI) and child pornography. The legislation holds AI-generated images and videos to the same standard as genuine images of children. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul had pushed to update the state’s statutes. Raoul says predators often use AI in their attempts to exploit children. Sen. Mary Edly-Allen sponsored the bill.
