18 U.S.C. § 2257 Exemption Statement

All visual content on Lust.ai is wholly computer-generated. It is produced by a text-to-image machine learning model from written descriptions. It does not depict any actual human being.

Because no actual human being is depicted, the material is not a visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)(A). It therefore falls outside the record-keeping obligations imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A, and by 28 C.F.R. Part 75.

The Service does not accept uploaded photographs and provides no facility to transform a photograph of a person. There is no image of any real person anywhere in the generation path.

Depictions of minors are prohibited absolutely, whether real, stylised, or synthetic. Prompts referring to a minor are refused automatically before reaching the model, and each refusal is recorded. Note that under 18 U.S.C. § 1466A, and under United Kingdom law, an obscene depiction of a minor is an offence even where no real child exists. That is why the prohibition is enforced in software rather than left to policy.

To the extent any record-keeping obligation is found to apply, the custodian of records is [CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS NAME], [POSTAL ADDRESS — required; a PO box is not sufficient in the UK].

This is a statement of exemption, not a statement of compliance with § 2257. It would cease to be accurate if the Service ever accepted photographs of real people or published material depicting real performers.
