Limited-risk AI
Limited-risk AI systems — such as chatbots and generative-content tools — are not high-risk but must meet transparency obligations under Article 50: people must be told when they interact with AI or see AI-generated content.
The duty is proportionate: disclose AI interaction, label synthetic or manipulated media (deepfakes), and mark AI-generated text published to inform the public. These transparency duties apply from 2 August 2026.
