California Governor Gavin Newsom has enacted two significant proposals aimed at safeguarding minors from the misuse of artificial intelligence tools that generate harmful sexual imagery. These new laws address a critical legal loophole, clarifying that child pornography remains illegal even if created by AI. The bipartisan support for these measures reflects a growing concern over the unchecked impact of AI technology on society.
