Abu Dhabi, September 25 / WAM / The UAE Media Council affirmed that employing artificial intelligence techniques or any modern technical means to represent national symbols or public figures without obtaining prior official approval is a clear legal violation of media content standards.

The Council warned that using artificial intelligence technologies to spread misleading information, broadcast hate speech, defame others, undermine their dignity and reputation, or attack societal values and constants is considered a media violation, for which the provisions of the Media Violations Regulation, including fines and administrative penalties, will be applied.

The Council called on all social media users, media institutions, and content creators to fully comply with the approved laws and standards, and to uphold professional and ethical responsibility.
