8.2
Alberta's government says it will change an existing law to allow people to sue others for sharing AI-generated intimate images and will expand the measure to cover audio recordings, Technology Minister Nate Glubish said on March 23, 2026. Officials said deepfakes can cause serious harm; the province aims to introduce the legislation this fall to provide stronger legal protections.

- 1Proposes legal right to sue over AI-generated intimate images and audio recordings
- 2Highlights harm from deepfakes, with officials citing serious emotional and reputational damage
- 3Requires practitioners to update compliance, privacy, and content-moderation policies before fall enactment
Scoring Rationale
Official provincial legislative proposal increases protection against deepfakes, limited by jurisdictional scope and incremental novelty.
