Judiciary, public safety, and corrections policy and finance bill (Laws 2025, chapter 35), including article 4, section 12 on child sexual abuse material created with generative artificial intelligence

In one paragraph

Minnesota's 2025 judiciary and public safety omnibus (Laws 2025, chapter 35) brings AI-generated material into the state's child sexual abuse material laws. Article 4, section 12 amends Minn. Stat. 617.246, subd. 1: child sexual abuse material now includes any visual depiction, including a computer-generated image, of an individual indistinguishable from an actual minor created with generative AI or other prompt-driven computer technology engaging in sexual conduct, if obscene. Article 4, section 13 gives interactive computer services and telecommunications providers immunity for specified actions tied to the new AI-material offense. The rest of the act is not AI-related.

Plain-English summary, written with AI assistance. The official text controls.

What it means for business

AI image generators and platforms face criminal exposure in Minnesota for producing or distributing obscene AI-generated sexual images of apparent minors; service providers have a limited immunity.

Key provisions

  1. Art. 4, s. 12 (Minn. Stat. 617.246, subd. 1(f)): child sexual abuse material includes a depiction of an individual indistinguishable from an actual minor created with generative AI or other prompt-driven computer technology engaging in sexual conduct, if obscene
  2. Covers depictions created, adapted or modified so an identifiable minor appears to engage in sexual conduct
  3. Art. 4, s. 13: immunity for interactive computer services and information or telecommunications providers for specified actions related to the new AI-generated material offense
  4. Art. 5 replaces "pornographic work" with "child sexual abuse material" across Minn. Stat. 617.246 and 617.247
