Safety & Security

Warning Regarding AI Manipulated Images

The FBI is warning the public that creating, sharing, or possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including AI-generated or digitally manipulated content, is illegal under federal law. Advances in generative AI have made creating realistic images, videos, and audio more accessible, raising concerns about misuse. Across the country there have been reports of teens using AI to create explicit images by altering ordinary photos of classmates. The public is urged to stay informed about these risks and report suspicious activity to authorities.
