Comment by Grupo Parlamentario Plurinacional SUMAR

Promote an amendment to Organic Law 5/1985 on the electoral regime that includes a new offense of malicious distribution of images and voices generated through artificial intelligence, punishing the malicious dissemination, or dissemination without the candidates' prior authorization, of images or audio of those candidates that had been altered or recreated using automated systems, software, algorithms, or artificial-intelligence mechanisms, from the calling of the electoral process.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote directly supports creating a new electoral offense for the malicious dissemination of AI-generated or altered candidate images and audio during an election period. That clearly establishes support for criminalizing deepfakes and malicious AI use in electoral campaigns, even though it is framed specifically around candidate media. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3d ago

AI Verified The quote explicitly proposes a "new offense" and "punishing the malicious dissemination" of AI-generated or altered candidate images and audio during the electoral process, which clearly supports criminalizing such deepfakes in campaigns. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3d ago

AI Verified Verified. The official Congreso de los Diputados page at the supplied URL contains the Spanish original of this sentence in item 5 of initiative 161/000854, and that wording matches the provided English as a faithful translation. The same page shows the initiative was presented by Grupo Parlamentario Plurinacional SUMAR and dates the text to 2024-05-20 (the BOCG publication itself is dated 2024-06-04, but the quoted initiative is dated 20 May 2024), so the stored author, date, and source URL are correct. ([congreso.es](https://www.congreso.es/es/busqueda-de-publicaciones?_publicaciones_id_texto=%28BOCG-15-D-153-C1.CODI.%29&_publicaciones_legislatura=XV&_publicaciones_mode=mostrarTextoIntegro&p_p_id=publicaciones&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_mode=view&p_p_state=normal)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3d ago
Disputed The attribution to Grupo Parlamentario Plurinacional SUMAR is supported by the official Congreso record, which in May/June 2024 publishes its proposal on AI in elections. But the quoted English text is not verbatim: the official Spanish text is longer and more specific, saying SUMAR sought to amend Organic Law 5/1985 to add a new offense for malicious distribution of AI-generated images/voices, including dissemination without prior authorization of candidates and applying from the calling of the electoral process. That makes the provided wording a paraphrase, not a faithful verbatim translation.
