The Texas Senate Committee on Criminal Justice took testimony Tuesday on legislation seeking to address the creation and distribution of pornographic material, including computer-generated images of children, and moved to strike a long-standing exception in state laws protecting children.
“The purpose of today’s hearing is to take up and consider items related to [artificial intelligence (AI)] child sexual abuse material, deep fakes, and affirmative defense,” said Committee Chair Pete Flores (R-Pleasanton).
