Legislative responses to AI-generated sexual violence

Overview

Reports from the Defensoría del Pueblo of the City of Buenos Aires indicate a rise in sexual deepfakes among adolescents, with 43% having received AI-manipulated images or videos. Investigations at local schools, including Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and Colegio Carlos Pellegrini, have focused on the creation of non-consensual sexualized content involving minors. Authorities are treating these incidents as the production and dissemination of child sexual exploitation material.

In response to digital sexual violence facilitated by AI, legislative bodies in Argentina and Costa Rica are advancing new measures. In Argentina, the Chamber of Deputies in Catamarca has granted semi-sanction to a project aimed at punishing the unauthorized creation and distribution of manipulated intimate content. The initiative clarifies that social media posting does not imply consent for AI use and proposes aggravated penalties for harassment or extortion. Similarly, Costa Rica is processing the ‘Law against Digital Sexual Violence’ to address legal gaps and recognize manipulated sexual content as a form of abuse.
