AI Act transparency and enforcement rules apply from 2 August
From 2 August 2026, the transparency obligations of Article 50 of the AI Act apply, requiring chatbots to disclose that they are not human and AI-generated content to be labelled. The procedural rules on the evaluation of general-purpose models and on fines have also entered into force.
Who is affected and how
- compliance specialist
- Companies must assess which interfaces require chatbot and AI-content labelling, and document this.
- corporate lawyer
- Software bought from a US provider does not exempt a company from the AI Act, so supplier contracts must be reviewed.
