But the EU doesn't agree, recommending that tech companies designate staffers and create internal mechanisms to field complaints "within a reasonable timeframe" from rightsholders, who must be allowed to opt their creative works out of AI training data sets. And it requires companies to track all events, provide an "adequate level" of cybersecurity protection, prevent jailbreaking as best they can, and justify "any failures or circumventions of systemic risk mitigations."
