EU Mandates Labeling of AI-Generated Content to Enhance Transparency
Starting August 2, the European Union requires companies to label AI-generated content, including deepfakes and manipulated text, to help users distinguish real from synthetic material. The rules apply to professional content, mandating clear labels or watermarks on AI-created images, text, and chatbots. Exemptions exist for personal use and artistic or satirical works. Firms face fines up to 15 million euros for non-compliance. The regulations aim to combat disinformation and preserve public trust in digital information.
