EU to Crack Down On AI Deepfakes, Illicit Imagery And Hacking With New Team In Brussels

The expanded office adds 38 staff and new whistleblower and compliance tools as Brussels prepares fines or market bans for violations.

  • This weekend, the European Union's Act takes effect, mandating that companies clearly label generated imagery and chatbots to ensure transparency following recent safety failures.
  • Expanding its Brussels-based Office with 38 new staff, the 27-nation European Union is reinforcing a 'Tech sovereignty' strategy to regulate global tech firms and reduce reliance on foreign companies.
  • Under the European Commission's new rules, firms must 'document certain information' regarding 'systemic risks'—including cyber offense and harm to fundamental rights—while tracking models for violations.

  • According to Henna Virkkunen, EU chief for tech sovereignty, enforcement marks a step toward 'AI that people and businesses can understand and trust' as the bloc seeks to close the global AI race gap.
