EU AI Act deadline
New ban and AI content marking
What changes
AI that generates child sexual abuse material or non-consensual intimate images is prohibited. The transitional duty to mark AI-generated content under Article 50(2) starts.
Who it touches
Providers of generative AI that puts out synthetic audio, images, video or text, who must mark it as AI-made, and anyone whose system could produce the newly banned content.
