CLAIM-2026-10-15-09

AI Act Article 50(2) requires providers of AI systems generating synthetic audio, image, video or text content to ensure outputs are marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated, so far as technically feasible, and does not apply to the extent the system performs an assistive function for standard editing or does not substantially alter the input data or its semantics. Article 50 has applied since 2 August 2026 and the marking obligation lands 2 December 2026.

Why it matters

The AI Act limb that actually lands this year, and what it does and does not ask for.
