The European Commission published final guidelines on AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations, effective 2 August 2026, covering marking, labelling, and disclosure requirements for AI-generated content and high-risk systems. The 51-page guidelines clarify implementation standards that national authorities and the EU AI Office will enforce, with a Code of Practice recognised as adequate for demonstrating compliance.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're shipping AI systems into Europe, these rules are live in 11 days. The Commission just confirmed one Code of Practice as the only recognised compliance path - that's your template, and you need it before 2 August.
