AI-driven digital violence and privacy regulation

Overview

Legislative and judicial bodies in Mexico and Spain are addressing the rise of artificial intelligence as a tool for digital violence and privacy violations.

In Mexico, the Senate is reviewing a draft decree to criminalize the non-consensual creation of intimate sexual content using AI. The proposal seeks to reform the Federal Penal Code to classify the generation, simulation, or editing of realistic intimate images, videos, or audio without consent as a violation of sexual privacy. Convictions could result in prison sentences of four to eight years. The decree also includes provisions to penalize the creation of sexual content involving minors or individuals unable to consent.

In Spain, the State Attorney General's Office has issued an alert regarding AI-driven gender-based cyberviolence among youth. This includes activities such as cyberbullying, non-consensual pornography, sextortion, and threats. Officials have emphasized the need for specialized training for prosecutors to handle new forms of technological crime and increased investment in educational prevention.
