contenido multimedia por inteligencia artificial

AI-generated or materially altered multimedia content.

How the laws define this

Both Project 6573/2023 and Project 7072/2023 establish that artificial intelligence multimedia content encompasses audio, image, and video materials created, modified, or altered through AI technologies. The instruments share an identical legal purpose, applying this classification to identify forensic and evidentiary media artifacts that trigger statutory aggravating circumstances when used to commit or facilitate an offense. They diverge primarily in their format scope and technical threshold requirements. Project 6573/2023 adopts an open-ended standard by explicitly encompassing any "other formats" alongside media that is wholly or partially generated or materially altered by AI processes. Conversely, Project 7072/2023 restricts its baseline formats strictly to audiovisual, audio, or image content, but provides greater technical specificity by explicitly including synthesized media and algorithmic or model-based manipulation techniques, setting a threshold where the creation or modification must have relied substantially on AI technologies.

Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.

What it triggers

  • In Peru’s Project 6573/2023, which was adopted, the use of such media to commit or facilitate an offense triggers a statutory aggravating circumstance that allows judges to increase penalties.source
  • In Project 7072/2023, such content is used to identify multimedia artifacts for evidentiary and aggravation purposes in penal amendments.

Definitions (2)

Media (including images, audio, video or other formats) that are wholly or partially generated or materially altered by artificial intelligence processes. The regulation uses this category to identify evidence types that, when used to commit or facilitate an offense, trigger the statutory aggravating circumstance and to guide evidentiary and forensic practices.

Audiovisual, audio or image content that has been produced, altered, synthesized or otherwise generated by AI systems, including content where elements have been manipulated by algorithmic or model-based techniques; the term is used to identify multimedia artifacts whose creation or modification relied substantially on AI technologies for evidentiary and aggravation purposes.

Not to be confused with

AI-generated multimedia content

This term covers media wholly or partially generated or materially altered by AI, while AI-generated multimedia content refers more narrowly to content produced or assisted by AI.

Questions and answers

Does partially AI-altered media count under these definitions?

Yes, both definitions include media that is wholly or partially generated or materially altered by AI processes or systems.

How is AI-generated multimedia used in Project 7072/2023?

It identifies audiovisual, audio, or image content produced, altered, synthesized, or generated by AI for evidentiary and aggravation purposes in penal amendments.
