"CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM," DOJ says after rare arrest

Full Article

The US Department of Justice has taken action against the use of AI image generators to create child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). A software engineer, Steven Anderegg, was arrested for allegedly producing thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors using Stable Diffusion and distributing them on social media platforms like Instagram and Telegram.

Anderegg's arrest highlights the dark side of technology, where individuals with technical expertise can exploit AI to create illegal and harmful content. The case underscores the importance of law enforcement agencies and tech companies working together to combat the misuse of AI in generating CSAM. The DOJ's strong stance against AI-generated CSAM sends a clear message that such activities will not be tolerated, regardless of the method used to create the abusive content.
