The big idea
AI deepfakes of minors — even ones you 'just made for a joke' — are criminal in most US states and federally.
Some examples
- Federal law treats AI-generated nude images of minors as CSAM.
- Many states have laws specifically against deepfakes of real people.
- Sharing or just possessing them can mean felony charges and the registry.
Try it!
Ask AI: 'What are my state's laws on AI-generated images of minors?' Read them.
