UAE Warns Against AI Images of National Symbols and Public Figures Without Approval
The UAE's National Media Authority has warned that generating images or videos of national symbols or public figures using artificial intelligence without prior official approval violates media content standards. The authority stated that the advisory aligns with regulations requiring respect for the state's governance system, institutions, and national identity. The notice comes as generative AI tools increasingly produce realistic media from simple text prompts, raising risks of misinformation.
