From now on, companies across the EU must be clear about their use of AI.
Providers and deployers of AI must:
✔️ AI-generated content must carry a machine-readable mark
✔️ Deepfakes and AI text on public interest topics must be visibly labelled
✔️ When you chat with a bot or virtual agent, it must make clear it’s not a human
✔️ When AI is actively analysing you, companies must tell you
️We've published guidance to help companies comply.
Transparency helps build trust 👇
@EUCommission These measures are clearly constructive, aiming to curb manipulation (omitted) and support people in making informed choices. The issue arises when only certain players carry this burden, placing them at a distinct disadvantage against the rest of the world. unfortunately, Europe might find itself dealing with the backlash.
To be truly fair, rules must apply to everyone or no one at all. Giving your opponent an unfair advantage means accepting a rigged game from the start.
@EUCommission Would you like to donate to me please to buy some food 🍉🙏

A step in the right direction.
@EUCommission
I wish the US were as good at regulating tech companies as the EU.
@EUCommission D'Addario gonna have a stroke with this one 
> When AI is actively analysing you, companies must tell you
Yeah, because for-profit compagnies are so honest…
> Deepfakes and AI text on public interest topics must be visibly labelled
Obviously, fascists making up hateful and racist propaganda are going to put "deepfake" labels on their shit… 🤡
If you had spine, you would make this shit such as deep fake or analysing people with bullshit-generators-with-racist bias "intelligence", illegal, not require "to inform people"…
@EUCommission and yet your top officials spend between 90 and 100% of their meetings with those same #bigtech companies' lobbyists. And then you create these #omnibus #deregulation initiatives to make it easier for them to do what they want.
See page 15: https://corporateeurope.org/sites/default/files/2026-03/REPORT_CORPORATE%20CAPTURE.pdf
Seems like the only thing preventing you from completely handing over the #EU to #bigTech are those pesky social interest groups you refuse to meet with and meddling citizens concerned about their rights and freedoms.
@EUCommission I'll contain my excitement until we see if this amounts to more than five additional mandatory paragraphs on the omnipresent jumpscare banner that informs me how the site and its 963 partners *really* care about my personal rights, and therefore I need to surrender them right now or pay a monthly fee instead.
@EUCommission Yet you want to build AI data centers.
Shut the fuck up already, EU. Make your actions speak louder than your words.
To address the safety and use one must begin with the Root !!!
Programmers and code writers is were it all begins !!!
All other is a down stream Effrect of the Cause !!!
@EUCommission are the names of the people who made this law listed anywhere visible to the public?
AI is being used to exponentially massacre innocent people in Palestine, by EU-backed Israel:
"(it's) used to manufacture targets so that Israeli military forces can continue to bombard Gaza at an enormous rate, punishing the general Palestinian population." This includes "enabling the systematization of dropping a 2000 lb bomb into a home to kill one person and everybody around them".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_Gaza_Strip
Don't sponsor genocide. End the EU-Israel trade agreement.
@EUCommission How about adding in "when using AI slopchat as customer assistance, always provide a means to directly contact real human customer service"
@EUCommission People from mastodon will be like: 911 I want to report an emergency, AI content without label! 😂😂
@EUCommission when EU will take care of Google monopolistic practicies?
There is almost no way to buy Android phone without GoogleMobileServices (GMS) GMS so intrusive that even EU countries GOVs Apps are dependend on them. Same with banking Apps.
GooglePay in GMS killed other contactless payment options. The ones that remains are dependent on GMS.
I'm so old that I remember when Microsoft was punished for preinstaling InternetExplorer. What Google is doing is worse.
Hi @wod0bow. We regulate the gatekeeper power of large online platforms under the Digital Markets Act. In fact, we very recently fined Google €890 million for unfair search and app store practices You can read the press release here: https://link.europa.eu/vrNJTx
@EUCommission Wow... You realy fined Google €890 million for unfair search and app store practices...
Amazing!
Did you know that Google revenue PER DAY is higher than that? This is called simulated actions.
What else did you do? Shake your finger?
You should also regulate that flagging "non-AI" content as AI is illegal too.
Otherwise everything regardless of it being AI or not will be flagged as AI "just in case" to avoid legal liability.
After all at this point we know the game of the us tech giants...
@EUCommission Dear European Commission,
I appreciate the initiative, but I have concerns. Will the platform use AI to detect AI-generated content? As an artist whose work was trained on without consent for 20 years, detection tools now incorrectly flag my human-made art as "likely AI-generated" ( see: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/116941001377913004 ).
What safeguards exist to prevent this?
@EUCommission Tell me that EU, as advertised by Henna Virkkunnen, didn't plan to in-waste 30 billion € in AI data centers.
Please be honest.
I've also got a good meme for you:
@EUCommission mit ner gigafactory wird eh die Wirklichkeit verzerrt. #AIVerbotJetzt
@EUCommission So you're allowing companies to analyse user's behavior with "AI" as long as they mention it? Just like the cookie banner this will just abuse the majority of not tech savvy users who just blindly accept everything without being aware of what's really being done to them and give companies another get out of jail card, while doing nothing for users. How does a EU citizen exactly benefit from being analysed by "AI"?
@EUCommission AIs are considered complex systems, but the underlying algorithms are simple. AIs will simply be changed a bit to dodge the definition in the AI Act.
@EUCommission So does that mean you’ll start doing it when you keep using terrible AI rendered images on here? 🤔
@EUCommission We can't trust the tool itself, so ban the tool !
@EUCommission @CiaraNi so calling your product “Claude” and pretending it is human will now be an offence? Good
@EUCommission ok, now we need to ban it's use and stop the construction of data-centers
@EUCommission how could you pretend that deep-fake creators will flag their creation as a deep fake? And how will you manage the controls?
@EUCommission may I ask how it is enforced? Please, tell us that Ireland won’t be doing all the work like with privacy
Hello @xgebi, you can read about enforcement of the AI act here: https://link.europa.eu/96Pt7y🙂
@EUCommission A big step in the right direction.
@EUCommission so regulating false statements is out but they just have to be flagged as false statements that's cool very futuristic and forward-thinking
@EUCommission Although this will not stop bad actors, it will help.
@EUCommission man tut so als wenn man damit den Menschen hilft, aber das ist eine massive Fördeurng der KI denn so kann jetzt automatisch KI Generierter Content aus den Training ausgeschlossen werden, die Folge bessere Deepfakes, bessere Modelle die Menschen nachahmen können, man hat das größte Problem des KI Trainings gelöst damit, wie kann ich KI Generierte Daten aus den Training ausschliessen. War es früher mir viel Aufwand verbunden ist es jetzt nur noch eine IF verzweigung
