Parliament debates bill requiring broadcasters to label AI-generated content

The authorities announced plans to legally require broadcasters in Armenia to label audiovisual content created using artificial intelligence (AI) or other digital technologies.

Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan presented the bill amending the “Audiovisual Media” law during an extraordinary session of the National Assembly.

The legislation aims to ensure that synthetic or AI-generated content is clearly identifiable to audiences.

Under the proposed law, the Television and Radio Commission will monitor compliance, and violations could result in fines of up to 300,000 Armenian drams.
