Investigators report an increase in cases involving AI-generated child pornography, prompting Ohio lawmakers to consider a bill that would update laws to specifically address such content. Experts highlight the rapid advancement of AI tools making it difficult to regulate and remove harmful images online, with law enforcement warning that offenders are exploiting these technologies for exploitation and harassment.

If passed, the proposed bill aims to include AI-generated images under child pornography laws and require tracing watermarks to identify such content created in Ohio.
