The European Union’s landmark AI Act has introduced mandatory transparency rules that require companies to disclose when users interact with AI systems and when content is AI-generated or altered. These obligations, which came into force on August 2, apply to both providers of AI models and deployers who integrate them into products or services. The rules aim to combat misinformation by making it easier for people to identify chatbots and deepfakes online.
The transparency requirements include labeling AI-generated content and informing users when they are engaging with an AI system. The EU has also provided standardized labels that companies can use instead of designing their own, simplifying compliance. These measures are part of broader efforts to regulate AI under the AI Act, which will phase in additional obligations over the coming years.
Companies must now comply with transparency rules or face penalties under the EU AI Act.
Users will have clearer identification of AI-generated content and interactions.
