The first of the comprehensive EU AI laws establishes prison sentences of one to five years for the creation of deepfakes and other types of content found to cause harm, as well as enhanced penalties for existing crimes that are supported by the use of AI.
Final adoption of the EU AI law is expected to be a formality at this point, but is not slated to take place until April 2024. From there, individual components of the regulation go into effect anywhere from 6 to 36 months from that date.
