EU AI Act transparency and enforcement milestone takes effect

The Commission has begun enforcing the newly applicable AI Act rules. Article 50 requires specified disclosures when people interact with AI and requires machine-readable marking or clear labelling for defined synthetic or manipulated content. The exact duty depends on whether an organisation is a provider or deployer and on the system and content type; later deadlines still apply to some high-risk product provisions.

Why it matters: providers serving EU users now need auditable disclosure, provenance, complaint and evidence-retention controls rather than policy promises alone.
