Summary

Czech police reported 35 crimes in the first seven months of the year involving creation of pornographic images using artificial intelligence. Charges under the new §191a of the Criminal Code have been brought against five men; one suspect under 15 had proceedings dropped due to his age.

The article highlights a recent July case in the Pardubice Region in which a young man took a photo of a woman he knew, used AI to digitally “undress” her (removing clothing from the upper part of her body), and then sent the doctored image to the victim and mutual acquaintances; he now faces trial.
