EU bans use of AI in official communications

The European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Council have banned the use of images and videos generated entirely by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in official communications, officials told Politico today, Anadolu reports.

The restriction aims to protect credibility and public trust, as synthetic media increasingly blurs the line between authentic and fabricated content.

"The footage and photos that we are using and making available for use by journalists or for official information purposes do not include AI-generated content," said Thomas Regnier, emphasizing that "authenticity" remains a priority.

AI tools can still be used to improve existing images, such as improving quality, but completely synthetic images or videos are prohibited.

Experts say the cautious stance reflects legitimate concerns but could limit effectiveness in the fast-paced digital landscape.

The move follows a European Commission investigation into X and its chatbot Grok under the Digital Services Act, focusing on recommendation systems and sexualized imagery.
