The UAE Media Council has issued a strong reminder that artificial intelligence (AI) tools must not be misused to generate or manipulate content that depicts national symbols or public figures without prior approval.
The Council emphasised that using AI to spread misinformation, incite hate speech, defame individuals, or attack societal values constitutes a serious media offence. Such actions fall under the Media Violations Regulation and may lead to fines or administrative penalties.
It further urged social media users, media outlets, and content creators to adhere to approved laws and standards, while maintaining professionalism and ethical responsibility in their work.
