Transparency obligations
Article 50 requires that people are told when they interact with an AI system (e.g. a chatbot), when content is AI-generated or manipulated (deepfakes), and when emotion-recognition or biometric-categorisation systems are used.
These duties apply to limited-risk systems and sit alongside — not instead of — high-risk obligations. They apply from 2 August 2026.
