Has anyone's person involved artificial images (AI) OF IIOC? I know they are generally treated the same as a 'real child' imagine but wondered if anyone else in a similar situation?

Person had created the images using AI technology.... Does this count as creating/making images? He has had an active role creating the images so can't deny accidently download etc.

Police said unlikely prison sentence at initial knock and hopefully won't uncover anything apart from the AI images as person claimed that is all....

New technology new problems!

I really don't know the answer to this but I do know some people take actual photos of real children to make A.I images I heard a segment on the news how people will take celebrity kids and do that but again I don't know the law with A.I images what those charges would be I do assume it's creating or could be called production.

I don't know I'm afraid but my person's charge paperwork (or it may have been on the search warrant paperwork - can't remember now) stated "indecent/pseudo" images. Not sure if pseudo covers AI.

They would be classified as pseudo images, but the sentencing is still the same as if it was a real person.

One of the issues that will have to resolved though, is whether it is treated as production of images, rather than possession. Normally production would involve taking a photograph of a real child, so the sentencing is much tougher because of this.

But since the image was created artificially, will that be taken into account? I don't think there have been any cases in the UK that cover this, although there was one in Canada recently. The Canadian case involved someone who was selling artificially created AI images online and the sentencing was severe, maybe because of the selling aspect, rather than it being AI.

Thank you for the replies. I've been informed they comes under pseudo images (AI images are now specified in he law) so still charged as real images as someone has noted above sometimes the image originates from a real child.

I haven't found any cases/charges online as it depends if it will end up classed as possessing or producing the images, which obs have different implications longer term- I guess that can only be answered when they eventually get around to cps/court and the actual judge on the day.. I Just hope because it is 'unusual' it isn't picked up by media
