Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies, which approved the measure Wednesday with 368 votes in the final article‑by‑article tally, sent the bill to the Senate for review.
- The reforms require express consent, payment, and a prior written agreement before any system uses or clones a performer’s voice or image.
- A new labor rule, Article 305 Bis, orders contracts to spell out if AI will be used on a worker’s voice or image and to set the specific pay for that use.
- The text swaps “imitation” for “suplantación,” aiming at AI‑made replicas that could mislead the public or replace paid work, while parody and satire remain permitted uses.
