Labeling AI content in accordance with the EU AI Act starting in 2026
New transparency rules under Article 50 of the EU AI Act have been in effect since August 2, 2026. But that doesn’t mean you’ll have to label every text, image, video, or social media post with a big “Made with AI” label from now on. The rules are much more specific. They primarily apply to chatbots, deepfakes, and certain texts on topics of public interest. And when it comes to texts, human editorial oversight plays a particularly important role.
