Sexual Offenses - As enacted, specifies that for the purposes of sexual exploitation of children offenses, the term "material" includes computer-generated images created, adapted, or modified by artificial intelligence; defines "artificial intelligence." - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 40.

This Tennessee bill updates state laws regarding child sexual exploitation to include computer-generated images created or modified by artificial intelligence. It directly affects legal definitions by expanding what counts as prohibited "material" to cover AI-generated content and by providing a specific definition for artificial intelligence and generative AI systems. The legislation clarifies that these new categories apply regardless of how the images are produced, whether electronically, mechanically, or through other means. Effective July 1, 2024, the changes amend existing statutes to ensure that AI-created imagery is treated under the same legal framework as traditional digital images in cases involving child exploitation.
