Whether you believe it or not, artificial intelligence created children’s pornography Is completely unrestricted According to the laws of at least 12 states. It is allowed in many other conditions in a low form.

Unfortunately, we live in a world in which people want to harmit such a corruption. The perverse – tho naturally prefer the label “minor people” – – Style Sieseloves as An oppressed sexual minority, subject to inappropriate stigmatization and discrimination. And there is already a lobby campaign that is not only underway, but rightly big deal academics and reservers that to give the party for any other perversion.

By billing by Fred Berlin, director of the Johns Hopkins Sex and Gender Clinic, Pedophil “Discovery without guilt The owner, which is nature of what is in relation to their own sexual make -up.

Wired Listed almost two years agoWhen Berlin is interviewed, “some clinicians and resarges have used the pictures with A-generated images to rehabilitate certain pedophiles by gaining the sexual catharsis on them, otherwise they will get from the observation of children’s pornography of generated images.”

In other words, mainstream academics have been the case for years.

It seems more that the studies have been completed, the rates of the sexual abuse of children in places where such a material is more is much more spray. The more such materials in the circle, the more adults are affected. But will the arguments of Berlin and Others convince someone? Will you convince our legal system?

Fortunately, the Supreme Court Already completed That AI created pornographic pictures of real children (deep falsifications, in other words). However, the law becomes cloudy in many states if the materials of the ai-generated materials are not based on a real child.

And the AI ​​has progressed so that it can create pornographic pictures and videos from Enterly -fake children who do absolutely everyone. Here is the law that is a preferred child that will surely be the future victims of these predators in time. The top priority of New York against Ferber criminalTraditional child sexual abuse material. A subsequent case from 2002 (Ashcroft against Redefreech Coalition) has effectively legal computer-generated child pornography, since as a Justice Canedy, such as Justice Cannedy, “virtual child pornography did not” be related to the sexual abuse of children “.

The KI children’s porn is not just pictures. The technology means that virtual children are practical indistinguishable Of real children – can be created to speak to the pedophiles and to live out their sick fantasies. The AI ​​will produce likes like children to correspond to the preferred person to the predators, and it will learn exactly what they like and do.

Although the law is still cloudy in this matter, one would hope that it can be updated to do this. Maybe the top couch even checks your decision.

But there is a great obstacle that goes beyond the usual slowness of bureaucracy – namely this aroused academic sex movement that teaches pedophiliabiologicalin nature. With their dogma, these sexual desire are the fault of the “minor people”-they simply cannot help themselves. In addition, these realistic but fake children -avatars who enable AI are to be considered legitimate for them.

The logic is Similla -To -needle exchange programs. If you don’t stop taking drugs, we can’t at least gain a way to consume Safly? Perhaps the answer to all of these questions begins to judge there. These needle exchange programs – how did you work?

Let’s take a look at the hard reservation. In a single year allies in the USA, child protection servicesFound strong evidenceThese 57,329 children were victims of sexual abuse. And we know that this number is not close to being the real number for reporting, evidence and Ctera.

One of five girls and one of twenty boysFaith to be victims will beSexual abuse of children. This is an astonishing number – imagine you imagine your child’s class at school. Statistically speaking, there are probably several victims in it.

So the real question is that these predators with more access to child pornography are only on the feake child with AI-generated? Or is that exactly that for more realistic and then real abuse scenarios?

With the invention of the international the amount of children’s sexual abuse materialpounded up. Perpetrators approve the anonymity and the ability to perceive the children as “not real” because they did not know them in real life. With more access, more and more material was made – and of course more and more children sexually abused to take care of themselves.

This means that there is an even greater risk of offering these predators in virtual or KI children’s pornography.

Over and over again,Show investigationsThis type of material only increases the likelihood that a pedophile is misusing a real child in real life. And invigorates the further development of AI technology, so that the AI ​​-Kind Avatar tells the pedophile what you want to hear, which the child urgently increases. Nothing says “effective crime prevention” very much like the handing over of child abuse pictures and videos of pedophiles and hoping that it will delete her thin to do more. What could possibly go wrong?

This is not a reduction in damage – it is an inellectual acrobatics that mask itself as politics.

Other countriesHave already been immersed in this legal debate. Unfortunately, many academics argue with a straight face that KI children’s pornography can help pedophiles to “contain” their appetite – even so farIn terms of mussels that “There is a group of people for whom looking at these pictures is a voyeuristic interest and a goal in itself and for themselves, no more gate separation court.”

In the course of the production of such climbs, you routinely have academic studies in the cherry pick. It is really surprising about your own inclinations.

But in any case we cannot allow highly brown academics, live in their ivory lights and create new riscs for our children. FinANAL is probably very busy in AI children’s porn -just like in AI friends. Someone buys her and someone. We cannot allow this risk for our children in our country.

While the connection of AI children’s pornography may seem surreal and so hideous that you probably don’t even want to think about it, it comes to a legislator, a courtroom or a debate hall near her. In contrast to what many academics you will be, this revenge does not reduce the child’s sexual abuse, but increases it significantly.

The progress of AI has some advantages, but there is a terribly dark and terrible side – one that the legislator has to wake up and now stamps the strength stamp stamp.
