Wisconsin man arrested for creating AI-generated child pornography.

A 42-year-old Wisconsin man, Steven Anderegg, has been arrested on charges of producing, distributing, and possessing AI-generated child pornography. Anderegg allegedly used a text-to-image generative AI model to create thousands of realistic images of minors engaged in sexually explicit acts, which he sent to a 15-year-old boy. The US Justice Department warns that using AI to create sexually explicit depictions of children is illegal.
