Spain's government has approved a bill imposing fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover on companies failing to label AI-generated content. The measure aims to curb the misuse of AI technologies, such as deepfakes, which can spread misinformation or manipulate public opinion. The legislation adopts guidelines from the European Union's AI Act, requiring strict transparency for high-risk AI systems. It also bans subliminal techniques used to influence vulnerable groups, such as chatbots inciting gambling or toys encouraging dangerous challenges. Additionally, the use of AI for biometric classification to assess behavior or personal traits is prohibited, except for national security purposes. The enforcement of the rules will be overseen by the newly created AI supervisory agency AESIA, with specific cases involving data privacy, crime, and other areas managed by corresponding regulatory bodies. Digital Transformation Minister Oscar Lopez emphasized the importance of these measures to address risks posed by AI. The bill still requires approval from Spain's lower house of parliament before becoming law.
