The company said the licensing agreement for its Daz Studio 3D rendering software prohibits its use for creating images that “violate child pornography or child sexual exploitation laws, or are otherwise harmful to minors.”

quote:

Prosecutor Jeanette Smith said outside court that it was “extremely disturbing” that Nelson was able to “take normal photographs of children and, using AI tools and a computer program, transform them and create images of the most depraved nature to sell and share online.”


quote:

A British man who used artificial intelligence to create images of child abuse was sent to prison for 18 years on Monday.

The court sentenced Hugh Nelson, 27, after he pleaded guilty to a number of sexual offenses including making and distributing indecent images of children and distributing “indecent pseudo photographs of children.” He also admitted to encouraging the rape of a child.

Nelson took commissions from people in online chatrooms for custom explicit images of children being harmed both sexually and physically.

Police in Manchester, in northern England, said he used AI software from a U.S. company, Daz 3D, that has an “AI function” to generate images that he both sold to online buyers and gave away for free. The police force said it was a landmark case for its online child abuse investigation team.

Bolton Crown Court, near Manchester, heard that Nelson, who has a master’s degree in graphics, also used images of real children for some of his computer-generated artwork.

Judge Martin Walsh said it was impossible to determine whether a child was sexually abused as a result of his images but Nelson intended to encourage others to commit child rape and had “no idea” how his images would be used.

Nelson, who had no previous convictions, was arrested last year. He told police he had met like-minded people on the internet and eventually began to create images for sale.

I wonder how many states have strong enough kiddie porn laws to get someone for this?

Not sure how I feel about this

As sick as this fricker is this seems like a better way for them to get their fix than actually exploiting real children

Certainly shouldnt be same penalty as real kiddy porn

I see your point, but there is an argument that could be made that this type of fake child porn could create more pedo's than it helps.

They're using the theory that the AI porn will cause more interest in the subject.

But he did though. He used normal pictures of kids and had the AI generate the explicit imagery.

He can DIAF.

Yeah, I would assume AI porn would be equal to drawing porn. Is drawing kiddie porn illegal?

This is an interesting case. But, yeah dude is sick.

EDIT: Seems he was using real photos of kids in the software. That seems to make it feel worse.

Anyone that gets pleasure from thinking about diddling kids needs to suck the business end of a 12-ga. Those that actually do it, should get the wood chipper treatment feet first.

No, especially when he seeded the AI images with real pictures of kids. He belongs in prison.

Disgusting fricker who should be in prison but I question if laws are written in a way to address this.

AI tech is new with regards to picture and video generation. Existing porn with actors of age who play younger is legal, albeit distasteful. Can they say that using images of someone below 18 to make this is actually CP?

Meh... I'm 100% certain as to how I feel about this..

It deserves exactly the same penatly as real kiddie porn. There's no difference. It is in no way a "better way for them to get their fix". When will this "fix" not be enough of a "fix" for them?

frick 'em. Kiddie porn or AI kiddie porn is KIDDIE PORN. Lock 'em up for life... or just kill 'em. If you are into kiddie porn, real or fake, you are no longer worthy of being a member of the human race.

Most victims of child sex abuse are girls, and most perpetrators are men. This is textbook ignorance.

18 years for fake images while Muslims raping kids get suspended sentences.

That's England today.
