A U.S. man has been charged by the FBI for allegedly producing 13,000 sexually explicit and abusive AI images of children.
42-year-old Steven Anderegg, who is based in Holmen, Wisconsin is accused of creating thousands of “hyper-realistic images of nude and semi-clothed prepubescent children” using generative AI.
“Technology may change, but our commitment to protecting children will not,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco says in a statement. The FBI charged Anderegg after the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received two reports last year that flagged his Instagram account, which prompted law enforcement officials to monitor his activity on the social network, obtain information from Instagram, and eventually obtain a search warrant.
