(Reuters) -Spain's data protection agency on Thursday said it had fined a person for sharing AI-generated sexual images of minors using real faces, in what Spanish media said was the first case in Europe of a financial penalty for this type of content.
The watchdog opened an investigation in September 2023 after Spanish media reported the creation and circulation of the images in Almendralejo, a town of 30,000 people in the Spanish southwestern region of Extremadura.
