Addressing AI-facilitated non-consensual intimate images in Canada and Mexico

Generative AI has lowered the barriers to the production and distribution of non-consensual intimate images (NCIIs) by requiring minimal technical skills and low costs from those who create them, while also reducing their exposure to liability. The scale of the phenomenon is significant, and existing policy and legislative measures have not succeeded in addressing its emotional, economic, social, and democratic consequences.

This document presents a particularly informative comparative framework between Canada and Mexico. Both countries must navigate the complexities of their respective federal systems while dealing with digital platforms that are primarily based in the United States.
