Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a bipartisan coalition of 44 state and territory attorneys general in endorsing the Child Exploitation and Artificial Intelligence Expert Commission Act of 2024. This Act, sponsored by Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) and co-sponsored by a bipartisan 16-member coalition, aims to tackle the growing issue of AI-facilitated child exploitation.
“Child exploitation is a heinous crime, and as artificial intelligence advances, new issues arise that demand our immediate attention,” said Nessel. “Safeguarding our children requires robust legislation like this Act.”
The Act proposes establishing a commission to investigate and recommend solutions for improving law enforcement’s ability to combat AI-driven child exploitation crimes. Nessel also supports Michigan’s Protection from Intimate Deep Fakes Act, which addresses non-consensual intimate deep fakes, imposing severe penalties for offenders.
