Germany’s Justice Minister Proposes Legislation Against AI-Generated Non-Consensual Imagery
Bundesjustizministerin Stefanie Hubig has announced plans for legislation that would criminalize the creation and distribution of AI-generated nude images and pornography, addressing a gap in the legal framework against digital violence.
The proposed law aims to encompass all forms of deepfakes that infringe on personal rights, with Hubig emphasizing the need to protect individuals from harm and defamation. The legislation is reportedly nearing completion and will enhance victims’ rights by improving access to information about the creators of fake profiles and manipulated images. Additionally, it would allow for the closure of social media accounts of offenders upon court order.
