Using generative artificial intelligence or similar technologies to depict national symbols or public figures without getting an approval is prohibited by law, the UAE Media Council reaffirmed on Thursday.
The Council warned that the use of AI technologies to spread misinformation, promote hate speech, defame others, undermine their dignity and reputation, or harm the values and principles of society is considered a media violation subject to the provisions of the Media Violations Regulation, including fines and administrative penalties.
It called on all social media users, media institutions, and content creators to fully comply with approved laws and standards, and to uphold professional and ethical responsibility.
