Kentucky Synthetic Explicit Content law summary

Kentucky makes it a felony to create or promote computer-generated or AI-made sexual images of a minor, based on House Bill 207, signed March 28, 2024 (Acts Ch. 15). The law defines a "computer-generated image" as any visual depiction created, adapted, or modified by a computer to appear to be an identifiable person, and it provides that prosecutors need not prove the depicted child actually exists or establish their real age. As of July 2026 these provisions sit inside Kentucky's existing child-sexual-abuse-material statutes (KRS 531.300 to 531.370), and the child sex-doll portion of the same act is currently being defended by the Attorney General against a constitutional challenge. Kentucky does not yet have a separate enacted law aimed at sexually explicit deepfakes of adults, as a broader 2025 deepfake bill (HB 21) stalled in committee.
