Legislative and judicial frameworks in Brazil and Mexico are evolving to address the misuse of artificial intelligence, particularly regarding voice cloning, image manipulation, and digital violence. In Brazil, legal protections have been reinforced to combat psychological violence against women and the unauthorized creation of sexualized montages. Existing laws, such as the Maria da Penha Law and the Penal Code, are being applied to address AI-generated deepfakes and the non-consensual distribution of intimate content. Recent legal scrutiny has focused on cases where fabricated AI content was used to damage individual dignity. A recent incident in Rio Verde, Goiás, illustrates the practical application of these protections. A man was arrested after using AI tools to create a manipulated image of himself holding a pistol to threaten his former partner and her father. Although no actual firearm was recovered, the suspect confessed to using AI to simulate being armed for the purpose of intimidation. He has been charged with threats within the context of domestic and family violence. In Mexico, reforms to the Federal Copyright Law now mandate express consent for the use of a person’s voice and image, specifically covering AI-generated or modified content. This legislative shift follows incidents where professional voice actors reported their voices were cloned without authorization for advertising campaigns.
