This regulation applies to new AI systems entering the EU market, with existing systems having an additional four months to comply. The rules cover generated images, audio, and text, requiring digital watermarks or visible labels, though personal, artistic, satirical, and fictional content are exempt. Companies failing to comply face fines up to three percent of their total global revenue, aiming to protect consumers and preserve democratic integrity by ensuring the authenticity of online information.
