EU Tightens AI Oversight With New Transparency DutiesSince Sunday, the Commission can directly investigate general-purpose AI providers; violations can cost up to €35 million.
- AI-generated content must carry electronically detectable markings, while published deepfakes must disclose their artificial alteration.
- Systems placed on the EU market before August 2 have until December 2 to meet some marking requirements.
- The Commission’s AI Office can investigate general-purpose AI providers and demand access to models or documentation.
- Prohibited AI practices may incur fines of up to €35 million or seven percent of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.
