Pa. bill would require mandatory reporting of sexually explicit AI deepfakes featuring children

A bill that stemmed in part from an investigation at a Lancaster County private school is now heading to the governor's desk.

The bill adds AI content to the offenses that must be reported by mandated reporters to Pennsylvania's Child Protective Services.

In 2023, two students at Lancaster Country Day used AI to create sexually explicit deepfake images of dozens of their classmates.
