新泽西州副检察长因AI生成儿童性虐待材料被控
据Ars Technica报道，新泽西州副检察长布莱恩·理查德·菲茨杰拉德（Brian Richard Fitzgerald）周四在家中被捕，面临与AI生成的儿童性虐待材料（CSAM）有关的重罪指控。官员称，这名51岁的嫌疑人利用AI把社交媒体上真实未成年人的照片制作成性化图像并传播，案件源于美国国家失踪与受虐儿童中心7月收到的关于一名Discord用户分享非法图像的线索。警方称通过数字取证、订阅记录和IP地址追踪到其住址，在搜查中发现用于生成AI CSAM的提示词和脚本，以及他据称承认制作并分享多张非法图像的Discord聊天记录；他被控持有和传播CSAM以及“非法使用通信设施”。
报道称，新泽西官员与司法部一样，认为AI生成的CSAM与CSAM同样有害；此案被视为州检察官被控制作和传播此类材料的罕见案例。

New Jersey’s deputy attorney general, Brian Richard Fitzgerald, was arrested on “felony charges related to AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM),” Bucks County Detectives said in a press release Thursday.
In the US, cops have vowed to crack down on AI CSAM since at least 2024, when the Department of Justice made one of the earliest arrests. After charging a Wisconsin man with spreading “thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors” across Telegram and Instagram, the DOJ clarified to law enforcement that “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM.”
