Chapter IV

Transparency Obligations for Providers and Deployers of Certain AI Systems

Transparency rules for AI systems that interact with humans, generate synthetic content, perform emotion recognition or biometric categorisation, or create deep fakes — including labelling and disclosure.

Art 50
Transparency Obligations for Providers and Deployers of Certain AI Systems
Cross-cutting transparency duties for systems regardless of risk tier. (1) Providers of AI systems intended to interact with natural persons must inform users they are interacting with AI unless obvious from context. (2) Providers of generative AI must mark synthetic audio/image/video/text content as artificially generated in machine-readable format. (3) Deployers of emotion recognition or biometric categorisation systems must inform exposed persons. (4) Deployers of deep fakes must disclose; for text published to inform the public on matters of public interest, the AI-generated nature must be disclosed unless human-reviewed and an editorial responsibility is taken.
