Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The European Union wants tech companies to put a watermark on contents generated by artificial intelligence, EU Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to label anything that is AI-generated by tagging them with watermarks,\u201d Breton said at a European Parliament debate on AI systems in Strasbourg, France.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is essential to build confidence for providers and consumers\u201d and to ensure transparency in the case of generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT, he added.<\/p>\n

Breton also said the EU is \u201cgradually phasing in a new world order\u201d by working on the world\u2019s first legislation on AI. For her part, EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager underlined that the new EU legislation would not hamper technological innovation.<\/p>\n

Instead, democracy will be \u201cshaping how we use technology in the best interest of the human being,\u201d she asserted. Once adopted, the legislation will ensure that AI is used in a \u201csafe, transparent and non-discriminatory way,\u201d explained Italian EU lawmaker Brando Benifei, the file\u2019s rapporteur.<\/p>\n

On the initiative of the European Parliament, the law would strictly ban systems based on manipulative techniques, social profiling, and most forms of biometric surveillance.<\/p>\n

The full parliament will vote on a law on Wednesday to adopt the negotiating mandate that will guide European Parliament representatives during talks with EU member states and the European Commission. The law is expected to enter into force in 2026 at the earliest.<\/p>\n
