EU to Crack Down on AI Deepfakes, Illicit Imagery and Hacking With New Team in Brussels

The European Union is establishing a new enforcement team in Brussels to address AI-related harms including deepfakes, illicit imagery, and hacking. Under the AI Act, AI companies will be required to label or digitally watermark AI-generated chatbots and imagery to inform consumers of their synthetic nature.

Why it matters: Organizations deploying AI systems in the EU market must implement labeling and watermarking mechanisms to comply with the AI Act or face enforcement action from the new regulatory team.
