🏷️ AI content is getting labels.

Just like energy ratings or safety certifications help you make informed choices, the same logic now applies to AI.

From 2 August 2026, the AI Act will require clear labelling in key cases:
🔹 Deepfakes
🔹 AI-generated or manipulated content
🔹 Interactions with chatbots and AI systems

You have the right to know whether what you see, hear or read has been made or altered by AI 🤖

@EUCommission how is this enforced?
@jansteen @EUCommission it almost sounds like this code is opt-in.

@placebo @jansteen @EUCommission

Today, the code is opt-in. Come August, the legal requirements are obligated.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] nope, useful to read further: “These transparency obligations, applicable from 2 August 2026…Even though adherence to the code is voluntary, the transparency requirements under article 50 of the AI Act are legal obligations…it provides an EU-wide recognised practical framework for signatories to demonstrate compliance with those obligations.” Opt-in now to get ready to show compliance in August.
