Arstechnica doesn't cite its sources? All it has are links to more Arstechnica articles.

The above article says,

In the US, the feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms.

..but doesn't cite any sources. There's an embedded link, back to Arstechnica. What the fuck?

I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.

Title is misleading?

An AI-generated nude photo scandal has shut down a Pennsylvania private school. On Monday, classes were canceled after parents forced leaders to either resign or face a lawsuit potentially seeking criminal penalties and accusing the school of skipping mandatory reporting of the harmful images.

Classes are planned to resume on Tuesday, Lancaster Online reported.

So the school is still in operation.
