The EU's Artificial Intelligence Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024, is a comprehensive law designed to regulate AI technologies within the EU, focusing on ensuring AI systems are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights. It categorizes AI systems based on risk levels—unacceptable, high-risk, and low-risk—prohibiting those applications it considers unacceptable and imposing strict requirements on higher-risk categories. The Act also emphasizes AI literacy, the promotion of trustworthy AI, and the need for clear responsibilities across the AI lifecycle, from development to deployment.

As Generative AI tools grow increasingly capable of creating realistic images and voices, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed new rules to enhance transparency in political advertising, particularly regarding AI-generated content. Instead of outright banning AI-generated political ads, however, the rules would require disclosures from cable TV, radio, and some online platforms.
