They warn of the criminal dangers of publishing images of other people, whether true or created by Artificial Intelligence
The Spanish Data Protection Agency warns that the thoughtless use of these instruments may violate fundamental rights and give rise to legal liability, especially in cases of intimate, sexualized content or affecting minors.
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has warned that the publication and dissemination of images of third parties carries risks, in many cases criminal, whether real or created through artificial intelligence systems. This warning has been issued by the organization to examine the legal implications of the use of such technologies, even in seemingly insignificant or playful contexts.
AEPD emphasizes that the image of a person d is a personal data, even if it is created with artificial intelligence, and that actions such as uploading, forwarding, transforming or creating content from that image involve the processing of personal data.
The document pays particular attention to situationsof high risk, such as the creation of nudes or synthetic intimate content, sexualization, eroticism, the allocation of non-real facts with a reputation impact, the de-contextualization of images or the use of content affecting minors or persons in situations of special vulnerability.
In recent weeks there have been problems with images modified or created with Artificial Intelligence, which many have called for "undressing" or "sexualizing" thousands of people. This phenomenon has splashed the Grok system used by the X social network, which, after controversy, has decided to limit these functions to paid users, a measure that many experts consider insufficient.
The organization recalls that the presence of a photo on a social network or messaging group does not imply a general authorizationfor its use in Artificial Dimen devices A, nor for the dissemination of modified versions. It also warns that the transfer of images from one group to another involves a loss of control of content.
The agency has also referred to so-called "invisible"risks, such as loss of control over images when they are uploaded to Artificial Intelligence systems, which will be treated by third parties and which can be used to learn, preserve or communicate to other organizations. It has also warned that such uses may affect fundamental rights such as honour, privacy or self-image, and may lead to the application of other legal rules, including the Criminal Code, which would be investigated by the judicial and police authorities.
