Guidelines on AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations

Guidelines on the implementation of the transparency obligations for certain AI systems under Article 50 of the AI Act

The guidelines define the scope of transparency obligations for providers and deployers of AI systems under Article 50 of the AI Act, which applies from 2 August 2026. They offer practical guidance to competent authorities, providers, and deployers to ensure the obligations — covering disclosure of AI interaction, marking of synthetic content, and labelling of deepfakes and AI-generated text on matters of public interest — are applied in a consistent, effective, proportionate, and uniform manner across the EU.
