A man in Wisconsin is facing serious charges after allegedly using AI to create realistic images of youngsters in sexual situations and sharing some of the pictures with a teenage boy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made a huge splash in current society and it has various uses. Some AI models and programs create digital photos that can easily be mistaken as authentic, which grants users the ability to often successfully pass off fake images for real ones.
According to reports, last Fall, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children was alerted about someone believed to have digital media containing explicit pictures of children. Law enforcement became involved and they started watching the man’s online activity. In a short time, they reportedly collected enough information to ask a judge to grant them a warrant to confiscate his computers so they could search for illegal content.
