Senate Bill No. 110 aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding child sexual abuse materials by explicitly prohibiting the use of a child's image to train artificial intelligence models for the production of such materials. The bill amends existing law by adding new provisions that define the unlawful use of images of children under the age of seventeen for this purpose. Additionally, it clarifies that a child depicted in these materials does not need to be a natural person, thereby broadening the scope of the law to include digitally created representations.

The bill also revises the definition of "child sexual abuse materials" to encompass a wider range of visual representations, including undeveloped film, digital images, and computer-generated pictures, all involving sexual performances of children under seventeen. This change aims to address the evolving nature of technology and its potential misuse in creating harmful content. The proposed law is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
