The production of child pornography using Artificial Intelligence is poised to potentially evade current laws protecting child abuse. Artificial Intelligence “DeepFakes” can be used to create indistinguishable videos and images of child abuse, without actual child abuse ever occurring. This Note proposes two solutions for curbing this inevitable dilemma. First, Artificial Intelligence should fall under the “computer‐generated” terminology found in the 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8) definition of child pornography. Second, if Artificial Intelligence cannot be considered to fall under that definition, then 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8) should be amended to include “Artificial Intelligence‐generation.”

当“ Sweetie”不太甜时：人工智能及其对儿童色情制品的影响

使用人工智能制作儿童色情制品的行为可能会逃避现行的保护虐待儿童行为的法律。人工智能“ DeepFakes”可用于创建难以区分的虐待儿童的视频和图像，而不会发生实际的虐待儿童事件。本说明提出了两种解决方案，以解决这一不可避免的难题。首先，人工智能应该属于18 USC§2256（8）儿童色情制品定义中的“计算机生成”术语。其次，如果不能认为人工智能属于该定义，则应修改18 USC§2256（8）以包括“人工智能生成”。
