EU AI Act Labels Start Aug 2. AI Transparency Rules Explained

Publishers, creators, and companies deploying generative AI must now label deepfakes and AI-generated text lacking human editorial review.

  • Starting today, August 2, the European Commission mandates that companies must transparently declare their use of AI in professional and public-interest content to comply with new transparency regulations.
  • This regulation shifts the AI boom away from hype toward accountability, requiring organizations to identify when AI-manipulated or generated content appears in their work to prevent public deception.
  • Organizations failing to comply risk fines up to €15 million or 3% of annual turnover, according to the Potomac Law Group, following high-profile compliance failures like PwC's four reports released without human review.
  • Disclosure obligations do not apply where AI-generated text has undergone human review or editorial control and a natural person holds editorial responsibility for publication, the Digital Strategy website notes.
  • European Commission rules kickstart a global process of setting standards for human-centric AI deployment, positioning the TRUST-AI framework as essential for professionals maintaining credibility and trust.
