With regard to the sexual exploitation of children, present law defines "material" as any computer image, or computer-generated image, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means. This bill amends this provision to clarify that "computer-generated image" includes an image created, adapted, or modified by artificial intelligence.
This bill defines "artificial intelligence" as the following:
(1) A machine-based system that (i) can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions; influence real and virtual environments without significant human oversight; or that can learn from experience in an automated manner and improve such performance when exposed to data sets; or (ii) is developed in any context, including software or physical hardware, and solves tasks requiring human-like perception, cognition, planning, learning, communication, or physical action; and
(2) Includes generative artificial intelligence, which is defined as an artificial intelligence system that is capable of creating new content or data, including text, images, audio, or video, when prompted by an individual.
ON MARCH 25, 2024, THE SENATE SUBSTITUTED HOUSE BILL 2163 FOR SENATE BILL 2668, ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1, AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 2163, AS AMENDED.
AMENDMENT #1 makes the following changes:
(1) Revises the definition of "artificial intelligence" to, instead, mean machine learning technology, including generative artificial intelligence, that uses data to train statistical models for the purpose of enabling a computer system or service to autonomously perform any task, including visual perception, natural language processing, or speech recognition, that is normally associated with human intelligence or perception; and
(2) Revises the definition of "generative artificial intelligence" to, instead, mean artificial intelligence based on a foundation model that is capable of and used to produce synthetic digital content, including audio, images, text, and videos.
ON APRIL 1, 2024, THE HOUSE NON-CONCURRED IN SENATE AMENDMENT #1.
