AI Law
The EU AI Act introduces the world's most detailed transparency regime for AI-generated content. If you publish to European audiences, you must clearly disclose when content is synthetic or substantially AI-generated.
This covers text, images, audio and video. The safest approach is a single, plain-language sentence placed near the start of your content, plus a persistent label for realistic synthetic media.
Building the habit now means your workflow is compliant well ahead of the 2026 enforcement milestones.
