Summary

Article 50 of the EU AI Act establishes transparency and disclosure obligations for AI systems that interact with humans, generate synthetic content, or are used for emotional recognition and biometric categorization. It requires operators to inform users when they are interacting with AI, and mandates labeling of AI-generated content including deepfakes. This article is a key regulatory provision addressing transparency in AI deployment.

Key Points

•Requires providers of AI systems interacting with natural persons to ensure those persons are informed they are interacting with AI, unless obvious.
•Mandates disclosure when AI systems are used for emotion recognition or biometric categorization of individuals.
•Obliges operators deploying AI that generates synthetic audio, image, video, or text content to label it as artificially generated.
•Includes specific provisions on deepfakes, requiring clear disclosure that content has been artificially generated or manipulated.
•Exemptions exist for legitimate purposes such as authorized law enforcement activities or certain creative/satirical content.
