Nearly 190 companies, including major Western AI developers, signed up to an EU AI transparency code to comply with new rules on labelling AI-generated deepfakes, but significant Chinese AI firms are absent from the list. The voluntary code supports compliance with the EU AI Act, effective 2 August 2026, requiring synthetic AI content to be clearly marked.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must align your AI tools with EU transparency demands fast as compliance readiness divides Western and Chinese AI players. This gap opens an advantage for you in markets wary of unlabelled synthetic content.
