The European Commission has published guidelines clarifying transparency obligations for AI providers and deployers under the AI Act, which take effect 2 August 2026. Providers must disclose interactive AI interactions and embed machine-readable marks in generated content; deployers must flag deepfakes, AI-generated public interest content without editorial control, and emotion/biometric systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models and Generative AI. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you ship any AI product into Europe, you have 18 months to embed disclosure mechanisms and machine-readable marks or face enforcement from August 2026. The Commission just defined what counts as interactive AI and AI-generated content — your product likely needs both.
