EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations take effect 2 August 2026, requiring AI providers and deployers to disclose AI interactions, mark synthetic content in machine-readable format, and inform users of AI-generated or manipulated material. Swiss companies placing or deploying AI systems in the EU must assess and implement these marking, disclosure and information obligations by the deadline.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you ship AI systems into Europe—chatbots, voice assistants, generative models, anything that talks to users or makes images—you have until 2 August to embed disclosure notices and machine-readable watermarks into your product. After that date, selling without them is a breach.
