Kentucky House Bill 366 criminalises possession or viewing of AI-generated child sexual abuse materials, effective immediately. The law targets intentional viewing with exceptions for accidental exposure and investigative purposes.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build content moderation, detection, or safety tooling for AI platforms, Kentucky just created immediate criminal liability for your customers—and demand for your product. Expect rapid adoption of CSAM detection across all US-facing AI platforms as other states follow.
