Starting Sunday, conversations with chatbots, AI-generated photos or videos, and AI receptionists must immediately make clear that the system is artificial intelligence rather than a human.The requirement comes from the European Union's AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive law regulating the development and use of AI systems. The law took effect two years ago and is now being phased in. The stricter transparency rules that took effect Sunday are one of those stages.
Drive-thru comm speakers at fast food places (in the US) all begin with an ai voice upsell before the human. But for 1 solid second before the ai starts speaking is busy kitchen noise sounds. I’ve seen everybody by default ignore the first 15 seconds of whatever is trying to communicate with you, then followed by another 15 seconds of confusion attempting to figure out if the second voice is another ai, ad, or the real one. If the purpose of the drive thru is speediness, that is all gone now.
