European AI Market Faces New Transparency Mandates Under EU Regulations

Any AI system that interacts directly with individuals must reveal that users are engaging with artificial intelligence. This obligation is waived if the system’s nature is clearly apparent to an informed and attentive person. Developers of generative AI must incorporate machine-readable markers into synthetic texts, audio, images, and videos. These markers are intended to aid detection tools in recognizing generated or manipulated materials. The requirement applies only when the technology can reliably mark content without rendering it unusable or altering its normal functionality significantly. Organizations publishing or presenting synthetic media are subject to separate disclosure rules.
