European Union regulations requiring transparency for certain AI-produced material came into effect across member states on August 2, 2026. Under Article 50 of the EU AI Act, duties are now assigned to both developers and users of artificial intelligence systems. These rules pertain to chatbots, synthetic media, deepfakes, and specific public-interest texts. Notably, they do not mandate a visible warning on every AI-generated item. Instead, different requirements are applied depending on the system, the type of content, and how it is published.
