AI labels to be compulsory on authentic-looking content under EU rules
What happened
Under new European Union regulations, companies will be legally required to clearly label realistic AI-generated content to prevent deception. This initiative targets deepfakes and synthetic media to ensure consumers can easily distinguish between authentic and artificially created material.
