While the law requires an “identifiable Person” when it comes to adult pornography it does not once the depictions feature fictional children, or child-like adults.

the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an AI system that generates child sexual abuse material, regardless of the nature or origin of the underlying content.

It is also not asking for the content to be generated, but the mere use of an AI system that “generates” said content.

Only companies deploying AI systems with filters are able to be used if you follow this laws logic since a local model is always uncensored and capable of editing e. g. an image of Trump. Could have also banned knives rather than stabbings.

A blow to local computing essentially.
