Cops use AI-generated 14-year-old girl to lure in sex criminals

Law enforcement in New Mexico used an AI image of a fake teenage girl to attract pedophiles, leading to a lawsuit against Snapchat for failing to protect children from exploitation. Officers created a decoy account for a 14-year-old named "Heather" and interacted with predators. The tactic worked but raised ethical concerns about AI child sexual abuse material and the use of real children's images for AI training.
