Ricky Schroder Calls AI-Generated Pornography a ‘Dangerous Tool’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Golden Globe winner Ricky Schroder believes artificial intelligence is a “dangerous road to go down,” specifically when it comes to AI-generated pornography.
“I’m not an expert on AI, but I’m concerned about people that want to make pornographic images using AI that look like real people,” THE CHAMP star said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “I think that that’s a dangerous road to go down.”
Schroder is a member of the Council on Pornography Reform (CPR), which aims to “promote a safer and more responsible digital landscape by advocating for comprehensive reforms in the realm of explicit adult content. We are dedicated to safeguarding individuals, particularly minors, from the potential harms associated with unrestricted access to explicit material.”
“It’s one of our goals at the Council on Pornography Reform is to have some controls over AI pornography,” he said.
He added that some people “claim it’s not a crime, you know, to look at AI porn of even underage children because there’s potentially no victim, they say.”
But Schroder disagrees.
“I say that’s wrong. It is a crime because the victim is the one who views it. The victim is the one who walks out into society and interacts with all of us after having ingested AI porn. So, I think it’s a dangerous, dangerous tool.”
CPR has partnered with the actor’s Reel American Heroes Foundation on a documentary called EROTIC EROSION.
“Adult content is being pushed on our children into our devices and our lives without our consent. But it doesn’t need to stay this way. Through this documentary series, we will explore the ever-changing landscape of technology as it merges with America’s obsession with sex and how we can stop the Erotic Erosion of our moral foundation,” a description reads.
“We’re making a documentary that looks at the disastrous effects of 45 years of internet pornography that’s been pushed into our culture and our society,” Schroder explained. “When internet pornography first came into the world, it was in the .xxx URL, and for various reasons, they shut down the .xxx URL, and they moved it all into the .com world. And so one of our goals at the Council on Pornography Reform is to move all adult content back into the .xxx URL, where it’s easier to control it.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Schroder’s foundation:
Golden Globe Award winner Ricky Schroder recently launched the Reel American Heroes Foundation (RAHF), which provides Americans with content that aligns with their conservative values.
His aims to create a “Patriot PBS” to counter modern narratives.
“Here’s the plan. We’re going to build a sort of ‘Patriot PBS,’ an army of storytellers to counteract much of the negative program coming from Hollywood these days. Our money, our stories, our legacies,” THE CHAMP star said.
PR Newswire pointed out that Schroder, a lifelong actor who grew up under the influence of Hollywood, knows its negative effects very well.
“Folks, never has the need been greater for a constructive vision for our collective futures,” Schroder continued. “Storytelling is at the root of our shared history. I know together we can build a foundation that will inspire the world through storytelling.”
