In force.
An AI prohibited practices rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 7 September 2026.
What it requires
- Do not generate, using AI or any other means, an image or graphic that represents or makes a person appear to be a child in a manner the Act prohibits; the Act's definition of a child extends to a wholly computer-generated depiction and does not depend on a real child having been involved.
What it makes you log
Logging duty
Sections 3(a), 4 and 10 define 'child' to include a computer-generated depiction, prohibit the Act's listed acts against a child so defined, and set penalties. None of the three creates a duty to keep, create or produce a log or record.

What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Section 3(a) defines "child", for purposes of the Act's offenses, to include not only a natural person below eighteen and a person presented, depicted, or portrayed as a child regardless of actual age, but also a "computer-generated, digitally or manually crafted image, or graphic of a person who is represented or who is made to appear to be a child".
Section 4 makes it unlawful for any person, through online or offline means, to commit the Act's listed acts against a "child" as so defined, regardless of the child's consent, so an entirely synthetic, AI-generated depiction of what appears to be a child in a sexual context falls within the same prohibition as a depiction of a real child. Section 10(a) punishes a violation of most Section 4 offenses with life imprisonment and a fine of not less than two million pesos.
