Description

What should I do if I have created or edited content using Artificial Intelligence?

Use the interactive tool below to find out in just a few steps whether you are required to apply the transparency label set out in the European regulation (AI Act). Answer the short questions posed by the system: you’ll receive immediate guidance on the labelling requirement and will be able to identify the correct icon to include in your document or web content to ensure maximum transparency for the public.

Where does this requirement come from?

With regard to the use of artificial intelligence tools for the production of textual or multimedia content (images, audio and video), the provisions set out in Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) will come into force on 2 August 2026, imposing labelling and transparency obligations for such activities. The aim pursued by the European legislator is to provide a visible trace for content generated using artificial intelligence. Breach of these obligations may result in the imposition of administrative fines of up to 15,000,000 euros.
