Creating and disseminating pornographic and sexually explicit images of people through artificial intelligence will be considered a crime.
According to Modern.az, the issue was reflected in the draft law on amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code, discussed at today's plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
Thus, according to the draft, it is proposed to add new articles to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan. According to these amendments, the preparation and dissemination of photo, video, or audio materials that do not reflect reality, using artificial intelligence technologies by utilizing a person's image or voice without their consent, as well as the preparation and dissemination of pornographic or sexually explicit materials, will entail criminal liability.
In addition, the draft also defines a procedural norm related to the implementation of criminal prosecution. According to the amendment, criminal prosecution for these acts will be carried out in the manner prescribed by law, based on the complaint of the aggrieved person.
The issue was put to a vote and adopted in the first reading.
