Bill > SB933

This bill amends various sections of the California Penal Code related to crimes involving child pornography. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It includes images generated through the use of artificial intelligence (defined as an engineered or machine-based system that can generate outputs influencing physical or virtual environments) as a type of computer-generated image that can constitute child pornography under the law. 2. It requires the Department of Justice to include in its collection and analysis of criminal statistical data violations based on materials generated through the use of artificial intelligence. 3. It clarifies that the existing law prohibiting the possession of child pornography applies to images generated through the use of artificial intelligence. 4. It states that no reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts, as the bill creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction. Overall, the bill aims to update California's child pornography laws to address the potential use of artificial intelligence in the production of such materials.
