"Europe Leads the Way with Landmark AI Regulation Law"

European lawmakers have adopted the world's first law governing artificial intelligence, aiming to regulate the use of AI systems, including generative systems like ChatGPT, and their impact on various sectors, including film and TV production. The law requires transparency thresholds, copyright compliance, and publication of training data for AI systems. It also addresses issues such as manipulated media, biometric identification, and high-risk AI systems, with clear obligations and avenues for citizen complaints. The legislation is set to be formally approved in March and will come into effect from 2026, potentially reshaping the use of AI in professional production across Europe.
