    AI Act Transparency Obligations

    Article 50 requirements for specific AI systems, including disclosure that a user is interacting with AI and labelling of synthetic content.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed July 25, 2026

    Definition

    Article 50 requires providers to design AI systems that interact with natural persons so that those persons are informed they are interacting with an AI, and that synthetic audio, image, video, or text output is marked as artificially generated or manipulated in a machine-readable format. Deployers of emotion-recognition or biometric-categorisation systems must inform exposed persons.

    What this means in practice

    Digital therapeutics and clinical chat interfaces should surface an explicit AI disclosure and, where they generate synthetic content (for example patient education videos), meet the labelling requirement. This applies even when the device is not high-risk.
