aceDeepfake-induced harm and AI accountability: a layered civil-liability framework for generative models, platforms, and digital identity
Deepfake and other synthetic-media harms create a civil-liability problem that ordinary tort doctrine does not easily resolve: harmful content may be generated, amplified, monetised, and redistributed through a chain of actors in which no single participant controls the whole causal process. The objective of this article is to develop a layered civil-liability framework for that problem. It examines the Saudi and Jordanian civil-liability regimes as the principal doctrinal focus, while using selected EU, US, UAE…
Generative deepfake systems produce reputational, identity-based and corporate harms through chains of developers, prompting users, platforms and distributors that ordinary Saudi and Jordanian tort doctrine struggles to remedy.
Analysis is explicitly private-law centred and doctrinally limited to Saudi and Jordanian civil-liability regimes, with other jurisdictions used only as comparative reference, and does not claim to replace AI regulation with civil law.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0132 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
