Ireland 🇮🇪 proposes Bill to criminalise harmful misuse of someone’s Voice or Image 🗣️
Are the Irish taking the right approach to this? NIV&L seem pretty important, but I always worry about those edge-cases where the intent of using someone's voice/image was thoughtful and it somehow ended up harmful :(
Fianna Fáil TD Malcolm Byrne has introduced the Protection of Voice and Image Bill in April, which would criminalize the harmful misuse of someone’s voice or image, such as AI-generated deepfakes, to create false photos or videos. The bill aims to address the harmful misuse of someone’s name, image, voice, or likeness without consent, especially when done to harm or deceive. The strength of laws in Ireland to criminalize AI-generated non-consensual intimate images and child sex abuse images are being examined by the Attorney General.
