EU urges Google and Facebook to label AI-generated content to fight disinformation.

The EU has urged social media companies, including Google and Facebook, to label content and images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) as part of a package of moves to combat fake news and disinformation from Russia. The EU has also warned Twitter that it faces "swift" sanctions if it does not comply with new digital content laws that come into effect across the bloc on 25 August. The EU is asking companies to label AI content in a meaningful way that will register with users while scrolling and distracted by other things.
