The Italian Garante reprimands R.T.I. over AI-manipulated deepfakes of Enrico Mentana: satire is no free pass, and a disclaimer counts only if the average viewer perceives it.

The EDPB asks the Commission to reassess the Data Privacy Framework after Trump v. Slaughter.

Also in this issue: the Ninth Circuit on AI agents and the CFAA, the EES switched off when queues grow, the SAFE guidelines on agentic incident reporting, and AI Act in a Nutshell on Article 37.

📧 NicFab Newsletter #33 — 11 agosto 2026

Il Garante ammonisce R.T.I. per i deepfake di Enrico Mentana generati con l'IA: la satira non è un lasciapassare, e il disclaimer conta solo se il telespettatore medio lo percepisce.

L'EDPB chiede alla Commissione di riesaminare il Data Privacy Framework dopo Trump v. Slaughter.

Nel numero anche: il Nono Circuito su agenti AI e CFAA, il sistema EES spento quando le code crescono, le linee guida SAFE sugli incidenti dei sistemi agentici, e l'AI Act in Pillole sull'articolo 37.
