Transparency around AI-generated and manipulated content is no longer only an ethical demand. It has become a firm regulatory and business standard, writes Aleksander Zieliński.
A new phase in the implementation of the European Union's AI Act began on Aug. 2, 2026, when direct obligations under Article 50 took effect. The rules introduce requirements to label generative content and redefine the boundary between permitted creation and misleading audiences.
