Minnesota Considers Blocking 'Nudify' Apps Generating Explicit Images via AI Without Consent

William Haslach has been accused of using artificial intelligence to generate sexually explicit images of children under his care, raising concerns about possible additional victims. Minnesota Senator Erin Maye Quade proposed a bill to prohibit apps that produce fabricated sexualized content featuring individuals. Heather Barnhart cautioned, "This situation is likely to escalate; it's not an isolated case," stressing the significance of safeguarding children. The District of Minnesota places a priority on pursuing individuals who prey on children in communities and schools to ensure the safety of innocent minors.
