The Hungarian government, through the Ministry of Science and Technology, has launched a new initiative to combat AI-driven manipulation and deepfakes. The centerpiece of this effort is the official website mihivatal.gov.hu, which serves as a platform for citizens to ask questions about artificial intelligence and report abuses, specifically regarding deep-fake content.

This initiative is part of Hungary’s implementation of the European Union’s AI Act, which mandates the labeling of AI-generated media. According to Science and Technology Minister Zoltán Tanács, the goal is to ensure the technology can be used safely while protecting individuals and businesses from deceptive digital media and misuse of AI-generated images or videos.
