An Interesting Legal Proposal Regarding AI

[Vastator]

This is an interesting case. The short version is; some kid took the image of another kids face, and AI generated pornographic images of her, and circulated the images around school.

Mom of 14-year old victim of AI-generated pornographic image demands change

A New Jersey high school mother said she's fighting to change laws surrounding AI images after a classmate generated a fake nude image of her daughter.

So, the mother is trying to have a law made that would criminalize the use of AI in such a manner. I could see some legal/constitutional barriers, that might hamper this effort. But it seems like a good idea none the less. Especially when involving minors. What do you think?

I think JibJab should be illegal. Putting my head on a dwarf or santa costume. How dare they!!!

No I think this is great. I can take a video of some girl and feed it into my computer and match it up with a porn star with a similar body and basically watch my neighbor's wife or friends sister in a porno?

Even spreading the video around. So what? Slippery slope. What next are you going to ban?

I think that would already be illegal in Virginia where the manufacturer of any porn in the state is technically illegal.

So he can type with his thumbs.

My rule is does it hurt anyone or anyone's property? What was done to this young girl is harmful to her so yes she and others who are victimized by this sort of thing need protection under the law.

But; is it porn, if it never actually happened? If it was completely AI generated; is that different than drawing a dirty picture, or making an inappropriate cartoon? Extrapolate that to giving the impression that minors are involved... What legal recourse is available, if any?

Hasn't the question of rights to name, image and likeness already been settled? Seems like this would be in violation of those tenants.

Didn't it say it used a photo of her face? That is her image. If it was generated by AI, that is her likeness and if it attached her name, 'nuff said.

Yes, in the initial story. I asked the question to a poster who said making porn in Virginia was illegal. If it is AI generated; is it legitimately to be considered porn?

The kid should be charged as an adult for making and distributing child porn.

That's one take. However the nudity presented wasn't that of a minor...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

It is defamation and theft of a person's likeness.

The relevant portion of the statute as to this type situation with emphasis added: A. For purposes of this article and Article 4 (§ 18.2-362 et seq.) of this chapter, "child pornography" means sexually explicit visual material which utilizes or has as a subject an identifiable minor. An identifiable minor is a person who was a minor at the time the visual depiction was created, adapted, or modified; or whose image as a minor was used in creating, adapting or modifying the visual depiction; and who is recognizable as an actual person by the person's face, likeness, or other distinguishing characteristic, such as a unique birthmark or other recognizable feature; and shall not be construed to require proof of the actual identity of the identifiable minor. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter8/section18.2-374.1/

I'm not too fluent in legalese, but this sounds like fully artificial renderings not meant to replicate an actual individual, are permissible. If so, that sounds like a loophole needing closing...

 

[lg325]

It's saying cartoon porn is okay as long as it doesn't look like a real person. I guess.

According to the article the girl the image was based on was 14. A minor.
