Summary

Private members' bill on deceptive recordings, which its explanatory memorandum links to AI and digital tools that can create or alter images, sound and video so that they appear authentic. It would extend the Civil Code's consent-based protection of a person's likeness and personal expressions to recordings created or substantially altered by a technical process; make it a misdemeanour to make or share such a recording of another without consent where it can harm their honour, dignity or privacy; add such recordings that seriously threaten a person's standing or rights to the crime of dangerous electronic harassment; and extend criminal liability of legal persons to that crime.

Received by the National Council on 27 March 2026 from MPs Andrej Danko, Karol Farkašovský, Dagmar Kramplová and Adam Lučanský. The Speaker proposed the Constitutional Law Committee as lead committee (decision no. 1336). By resolution no. 1497 of 5 May 2026 the National Council decided at first reading to consider the bill in second reading and assigned it to the Constitutional Law Committee as lead committee; the resolution sets the committee's deadline as the start of the plenary debate on the bill, while the print page gives 25 May 2026.
