just last month, the world's first comprehensive regulation on artificial intelligence, the eu artificial intelligence act, officially came into effect. the act stipulates that artificial intelligence systems such as chatbots must clearly inform users that they are interacting with machines, and artificial intelligence technology providers must ensure that synthesized audio, video, text and image content can be detected as artificial intelligence-generated content. in addition, the act prohibits the use of artificial intelligence systems that are considered to pose a clear threat to users' basic rights.
