EU AI Act enforcement begins with new transparency rules

The European Commission has begun enforcing the EU AI Act, with new transparency obligations taking effect on August 2, 2026. This includes requirements for AI systems to identify themselves as non-human, labeling of deepfakes, and machine-readable marks on AI-generated content. The AI Office has also launched complaint and whistleblower tools to report infringements, particularly concerning general-purpose AI models and prohibited practices. High-risk AI system rules are postponed to December 2027 and August 2028. AI
