The European Commission published guidelines clarifying AI Act transparency obligations effective 2 August 2026, requiring AI providers to disclose when users interact with AI systems and mark AI-generated content with machine-readable labels, whilst deployers must flag deepfakes and AI-generated content on public interest topics without human review.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build or deploy AI systems in Europe, you have 14 days to embed disclosure and marking infrastructure before enforcement starts. The Code of Practice is your legal shield—adopt it now or prove compliance manually when national authorities arrive.
