Storing and distributing images and videos of child pornography is a criminal offense in the United States. Who is culpable if an AI system produces sexualized images of an adult when they upload childhood photos? What stops a nefarious actor from intentionally uploading the image of a child to get sexualized images? At the time of writing there are no laws that ban the generation of sexualized images of children from AI systems. Governments and companies have a responsibility to do more.
