The UAE Media Council reiterated on Thursday that using generative AI or similar technologies to portray national symbols or public figures without prior approval is legally prohibited.
The Council cautioned against employing AI technologies for disseminating false information, inciting hate speech, defaming individuals, damaging their dignity and reputation, or harming societal values and principles, as these actions constitute media violations under the Media Violations Regulation, subject to fines and administrative penalties.
It urged social media users, media outlets, and content creators to adhere strictly to approved laws and standards, maintaining professional and ethical responsibility.
