AI rules & regulations

Starting on August 2, the European Commission's AI office extended the scope of the Artificial Intelligence Act, and new transparency rules came into force. Interactive AI systems such as chatbots must now clearly inform users they are not human. AI generated or manipulated content also must carry machine readable markings. These obligations mark a significant step in the phased rollout of the EU's AI Act, but its implications stretch far beyond Europe. How will these rules and related rules meanwhile reshape the trajectory of AI development? What does it mean? For the future of global AI governance, this is a topic beyond Europe.
