Regulación de la IA en Ecuador : análisis del proyecto de ley.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has produced advances and challenges in safeguarding essential rights such as privacy and information protection. The expansion of deepfakes, artificial voices, and visual simulations promotes the alteration of data and the perpetration of crimes such as scams and disinformation campaigns. In this regard, the current legal frameworks have legal gaps that complicate the detection and punishment of the culprits. This study examines the effect of AI on privacy and analyzes the Data Protection Bill in Ecuador, assessing its ability to effectively regulate the use of these technologies. The legal foundations that should guide their use are analysed, guaranteeing a balance between innovation and the safeguarding of rights. Likewise, legal theories such as causality and objective imputation are investigated, which can help establish responsibilities in situations of infringement of rights through AI.
