44 AGs Ask Congress to Pass Bill Creating Commission on AI Abuse

Congress should create a federal commission to examine how law enforcement can better detect and prosecute AI-driven child abuse online, attorneys general from 41 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands wrote Monday. California, Mississippi, Colorado, Arkansas, New York, Utah and Maryland were among the AGs supporting the Child Exploitation and Artificial Intelligence Expert Commission Act (HR-8005). Introduced by Rep. Nicholas Langworthy, R-N.Y., HR-8005 is co-sponsored by 16 House members, including seven Democrats. “We are hopeful the creation and work of this commission will result in appropriate safety measures and updates to existing laws, so we can protect children from being digitally exploited and hold criminals accountable,” the AGs wrote.
