EU to crack down on AI deepfakes, illicit imagery and hacking with new team in Brussels

The European Union has established a new team in Brussels to enforce its AI Act, requiring AI companies to label AI-generated content and monitor violations like deepfakes, illicit imagery, and cyber threats. The initiative includes expanding the AI Office with 38 personnel to oversee firms such as OpenAI and DeepSeek, alongside tools for whistleblowers and compliance reporting.
