Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires customer-facing AI systems to disclose their nature transparently and immediately, impacting marketing, sales, and service interactions across Europe. The regulation also mandates marking AI-generated or manipulated content, including deepfakes, to prevent deception and maintain customer trust.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Retail Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must redesign AI interactions so customers know they are talking to AI right away, or risk losing trust and engagement in sales and marketing. Deepfake rules force tighter controls on generated content, making clear compliance and early transparency your ticket to market access.
