Anyone with a basic AI tool can now generate hyper-realistic, altered images of real people in just seconds. It’s a digital nightmare that’s ruining reputations and causing massive real-world harm. But until right now, Canadian law had a massive loophole that let a ton of this harmful content slide right through.
In this episode of Canada Off Script, Randall Arsenault breaks down the urgent new amendments to Bill C-16. Driven by a rare moment of cross-party agreement among Canadian MPs, the Justice Committee has expanded the law to explicitly target "nearly nude" AI-generated deepfakes and non-consensual images.
But not everyone is completely on board. From committee objections to debates on Reddit, some are warning that terms like "nearly nude" are too vague and could pave a slippery slope toward online censorship and unpredictable government overreach.
What do you think? Is this amendment exactly what we need to protect regular people, or did politicians just create a law that is too vague to enforce fairly? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below—be articulate!
