Commission starts enforcing AI Act rules and new transparency requirements on 2 August

The European Commission will begin enforcing the AI Act's transparency rules on 2 August, requiring chatbots to disclose they are AI and deepfakes to be labeled with machine-readable marks. The Commission published a list of over 180 organizations that have signed the Code of Practice on transparency of AI-generated content, which operationalizes the rules to reduce deception and help consumers make informed choices.

On the same date, new transparency rules will start to apply, requiring certain AI systems to tell users when they are interacting with AI and when content has been generated or altered by it. Under the new rules, chatbots and other interactive AI systems will have to tell users they are dealing with AI, not a human. Deepfakes images, videos, or audio that have been edited or generated using AI will have to be labelled. AI-generated or altered content will also have to carry machine-readable marks so it can be detected more easily. The measures are intended to reduce deception and manipulation and help people make informed choices. They also give businesses clearer obligations and a practical way to show compliance.
