Nova Scotia’s government is moving to expand protections for people affected by intimate images created or altered using artificial intelligence without consent.
The proposed legislation is intended to strengthen legal safeguards for victims by addressing harms linked to AI-generated or modified intimate content. The province says the changes build on existing protections for people targeted by non-consensual intimate images and broaden the scope to include images created or manipulated with AI technology.
Both outlets describe the announcement as an expansion of Nova Scotia’s legal framework, but do not provide detailed information in the excerpts about how the new rules would work in practice, such as reporting mechanisms, enforcement, or specific penalties. Further details are expected as the legislation advances through the process.
