The European Commission published guidelines on 20 July 2026 clarifying transparency requirements under the EU AI Act, which takes effect 2 August 2026. Providers must notify users of AI interactions and mark AI-generated content; deployers must disclose deepfakes, unreviewed AI content on public matters, and emotion/biometric systems.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models and Generative AI, and 35 sources have reported it between 20 Jul 2026 and 19 Aug 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you ship AI products to Europe, you have 13 days to build user notifications and machine-readable markings into your systems or face enforcement. The Commission just handed you the spec—now the race is whether your product can move fast enough to comply before 2 August.
