EU asks Facebook, TikTok to identify and label AI deep fakes

The European Union (EU) called on Facebook, TikTok and other social media sites on Tuesday to crack down on artificial intelligence deep fakes ahead of European elections in June.

European lawmakers earlier this month approved landmark AI legislation — the Digital Markets Act — to govern AI content on big social sites. Under the law, it identified 22 social sites, including Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, as being "very large" sites.
