The EU AI Act's transparency rules, effective August 2nd, 2026, mandate clear disclosures for AI interactions and synthetic content. Companies must inform users when they are interacting with AI, label AI-generated media with machine-readable watermarks or visible icons, and clearly identify deepfakes. While some compliance deadlines for high-risk systems have been extended to December 2027, these transparency requirements are immediate, with penalties for non-compliance starting at fifteen million euros.
