Attorney General Jackley calls for Congressional action on A.I.

Attorney General Marty Jackley is joining 53 of his colleagues in asking Congress to deal with the exploitation of children with Artificial Intelligence.  Jackley points to “deepfakes” that include the use of real children’s voices and photos from social media to create computer generated child pornography.  In their letter, the Attorneys General urge Congress to create an expert commission to study how AI methods are used to exploit children and then take steps to protect children from such issues as the generation of child sexual abuse materials and the use of their images for deepfake photo images.  “We need Congress to take action, and I also plan to do so this Legislative Session in South Dakota,” said Attorney General Jackley. “We will be working with legislators to address ‘deepfakes’ and to make AI generated child pornography a crime in South Dakota.”
