AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
This bill updates Utah law to address AI-generated child sexual abuse material by creating two new legal categories and the crimes that go with them. "Apparent child sexual abuse material" covers realistic depictions of minors created or generated by artificial intelligence, and "obscene child sexual abuse material" covers a broader category of sexually explicit content involving children that meets the legal standard for obscenity. The bill makes it a crime to possess or distribute apparent child sexual abuse material and to produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to distribute obscene child sexual abuse material.
