The bill expands existing prohibitions on child pornography to include manipulated images of minors and artificial intelligence-generated minors.

  • NRS 200.700

    “Artificial intelligence-generated minor” means a fictional human that:(a) Is generated through the use of artificial intelligence; and(b) Has anatomical or physical features that make the fictional human appear to be a minor.

    This adds a new definition for 'artificial intelligence-generated minor' to include digitally created images resembling children.

  • NRS 200.725

    A person shall not knowingly prepare, advertise or distribute any item or material that depicts a minor engaging in, or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; → A person shall not knowingly prepare, advertise or distribute any item or material that contains or incorporates, in any manner, an: (1) Image of a minor that has been mechanically or digitally altered, including, without limitation, through the use of artificial intelligence, to depict the minor engaging in or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; or (2) Obscene depiction of an artificial intelligence-generated minor engaging in or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct.

    This change expands the prohibition to include items that are altered or created using artificial intelligence to depict minors in sexual contexts.

  • NRS 200.730

    A person shall not knowingly and willfully have in his or her possession for any purpose any film, photograph or other visual presentation depicting a person under the age of 16 years as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; → A person shall not knowingly and willfully have in his or her possession for any purpose any film, photograph or other visual presentation that contains or incorporates, in any manner, an: (1) Image of a minor that has been mechanically or digitally altered, including, without limitation, through the use of artificial intelligence, to depict the minor as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct; or (2) Obscene depiction of an artificial intelligence-generated minor as the subject of a sexual portrayal or engaging in or simulating, or assisting others to engage in or simulate, sexual conduct.

    This change broadens the scope of possession offenses to include altered or AI-generated sexual depictions of minors.

  • NRS 202.876
