EU AI Act Article 50

Be AI Act ready before 2 August 2026

The EU AI Act’s transparency obligations are enforceable from 2 August 2026. Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to €15 million or 3% of total worldwide annual turnover. AccessioAI helps you label AI content, manage exemptions and prove compliance on demand.

Article 50 obligations at a glance

These are the transparency obligations that affect most public-facing digital products and content teams.

50.1

Chatbot & interaction disclosure

Users must be informed they are interacting with an AI system unless it is obvious from the context.

50.2

Machine-readable marking of generated media

Providers of AI systems that generate or manipulate image, audio or video content must enable marking in a machine-readable format.

50.3

Deepfake disclosure

Deployers must disclose that content constituting a deepfake is generated or manipulated by AI.

50.4

Public AI-generated text disclosure

AI-generated text published publicly must be disclosed, unless the content undergoes human review or editorial control.

Penalty exposure: up to €15M or 3% of global annual turnover

Article 99 of the EU AI Act sets administrative fines for infringements of transparency obligations. The higher of €15 million or 3% of total worldwide annual turnover applies.

How it works

Label, exempt and prove

AccessioAI turns Article 50 from a legal risk into a repeatable workflow.

1

Declare or detect AI content

Import content manually, via API or from your CMS. Accessio classifies it by type — text, image, audio, video or chatbot interaction — and maps it to the correct Article 50 obligation.

2

Label with the right placement

Generate end-user labels, inline captions, overlay corners or metadata-only markings that match the obligation for each content type.

3

Manage exemptions

Record editorial-review exemptions for Article 50(4) text with a natural-person review trail that auditors can verify.

4

Export evidence

Produce a timestamped evidence ledger and regulator report showing what was labelled, why and when.
