European Commission tightens oversight on AI companies to combat deepfakes and cyber threats

The oversight effort follows the full implementation of the EU AI Act, establishing specific obligations for companies to mitigate risks associated with synthetic content. This framework formalizes the monitoring of high-risk systems to ensure they comply with regional safety and transparency requirements.
