Missouri HB1689 modifies provisions to include artificially generated visual depictions of a minor in the definition of child pornography.

Missouri HB1689 modifies the definition of child pornography to include artificially generated visual depictions of a minor. This includes depictions that are indistinguishable from a real minor, morphed from a real minor's image, or generated without any actual minor involvement. The bill also modifies the definition of explicit sexual material to include such depictions. The changes aim to address the use of non-real, computer-generated images that simulate minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
