Chapter 1 — Article 50: What and When Are the Transparency Duties?

Legal Scope and Requirements

Article 50 of the EU AI Act applies to “providers” (anyone placing AI systems on the EU market, even if outside the EU) and, in part, to “deployers” (those operationalizing AI). You must implement prominent, clear, and accessible transparency measures if your product or service:

Lets natural persons interact with AI (e.g., chatbots, voice agents)

Obligation: Inform users they’re interacting with AI, unless it’s obvious to a well-informed, observant, and circumspect user.

Involves emotion recognition or biometric categorization

Obligation: Inform all individuals affected, provide proper safeguards.

Generates or manipulates audio, images, video, or public-interest text (“deepfakes” or synthetic content) that could be mistaken for authentic

Obligation: Embed robust machine-readable labeling and visible/audible disclosure. Minor edits and closed industrial systems are generally excluded.

Publishes potentially misleading synthetic output publicly (including text on public-interest topics)

ABOUT THE GUIDE

Introduction

From August 2, 2026, the EU’s landmark AI Act imposes new transparency duties on many AI-powered products and APIs, with a short grace period (until December 2, 2026) for specific pre-existing systems. These duties—centered in Article 50—mean that SaaS and AI vendors must ensure users interacting with their systems know when they’re engaging with AI, and that synthetic or manipulated content is disclosed both for people and machines. This workbook offers a practical path: it helps small and large teams set up, implement, and evidence their compliance journey for Article 50. It includes scoping tools, gap analysis, detailed SOPs, templates, and adaptive checklists, supported throughout by current primary EU sources and guidance.
