Slovak National Party Proposes Law to Protect Against AI Misuse

The Slovak National Party (SNS) has introduced legislation aimed at protecting citizens from artificial intelligence misuse. The proposed law would amend three key pieces of Slovak legislation: the Civil Code, the Misdemeanors Act, and the Criminal Code. SNS is a nationalist party that forms part of Slovakia's ruling coalition government alongside the social-democratic Smer-SD party. The legislative proposal represents Slovakia's attempt to address emerging challenges posed by artificial intelligence technologies, though specific details about what types of AI misuse the law would target or what penalties it would establish have not been disclosed.
