[EU to Implement Provisions of the 'Artificial Intelligence Act' Starting August 2, Adding New AI Transparency Requirements] Deep Tide TechFlow reports: On July 31, according to CCTV News, the European Commission announced that starting August 2, the European Commission's Artificial Intelligence Office will collaborate with the competent authorities of member states to begin implementing provisions of the 'Artificial Intelligence Act.' At the same time, new AI transparency requirements will officially take effect, mandating certain AI systems to clearly inform users that they are interacting with artificial intelligence and whether the content has been generated or modified by AI. Under the new regulations, interactive AI systems such as chatbots must explicitly disclose their identity as artificial intelligence rather than a human. Deepfake images, videos, and audio generated or edited using AI must be labeled accordingly. Additionally, content generated or modified by AI must include machine-readable markers to facilitate identification and tracking. The European Commission stated that these measures aim to reduce deception and manipulation, help the public make more informed decisions, and provide businesses with clearer compliance requirements and implementation pathways.
