Judicial system (see reasoning)

The text most directly concerns the Judicial System due to its implications for criminal law and the prosecution of AI-generated crimes involving minors. Given that the legislation defines new crimes based on AI-generated material, it holds significant relevance in the context of legal frameworks and enforcement. It is also relevant to the Government Agencies and Public Services sector as it informs the actions of law enforcement and regulatory agencies. There is limited direct relevance to Politics and Elections, Healthcare, Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment, Academic and Research Institutions, International Cooperation and Standards, Nonprofits and NGOs, and it does not fit into the Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified category due to its clear legal and regulatory focus. Thus, the strongest connections are to the Judicial System and Government Agencies and Public Services.
