Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit child pornography produced using artificial intelligence.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Protecting Our Children in an AI World Act of 2025", aims to strengthen legal protections against child pornography by modifying existing federal law to specifically address artificially generated imagery. The bill eliminates existing legal defenses related to child pornography and expands the definition of "sexually explicit conduct" to include more types of digital imagery, specifically adding provisions about the obscene exhibition of body parts even when partially clothed. By broadening the legal definition and removing potential loopholes, the legislation seeks to criminalize the creation and distribution of AI-generated sexually explicit images of minors. The bill includes a severability clause, which means that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the rest of the law can still remain in effect. This approach reflects growing concerns about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence technology to create exploitative content involving children, and represents an effort to update existing legal frameworks to address emerging technological challenges in protecting minors from sexual exploitation.
