An Act to enhance protections against child exploitation and misuse of emerging technologies
This bill updates Massachusetts law to address child exploitation involving new technologies like artificial intelligence. It defines AI-generated images of children, deepfakes, and "child-like sex dolls" as illegal, expanding existing protections to cover digital content. Offenders face increased prison sentences (up to 40 years for repeat offenses) and must pay victim restitution for counseling and legal costs. The law also establishes a task force to monitor technology risks and funds victim support services including counseling and legal aid.
