Privacy Risks of AI-Generated Imagery: the Belgian DPA signs joint statement

Data protection authorities from across the globe have today published and signed a Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery.

The Statement represents the united position of 61 authorities and has been issued in response to serious concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) systems that generate realistic images and videos depicting identifiable individuals without their knowledge and consent. The signatories are especially concerned about the harm these images may cause to children.

The Belgian DPA, for which privacy-friendly AI and the protection of minors' data are important concerns, is one of the 61 signatories to this ‘Joint Statement on AI-Generated Imagery and the Protection of Privacy’.

The Joint Statement has been coordinated by the Global Privacy Assembly's (GPA) International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group (IEWG).
