A plain-English guide to the EU AI Act's "Transparency Obligations" for providers and deployers of AI systems.Deadline: August 2026
Providers of AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons (e.g., Chatbots, Customer Service Agents) must ensure that users are informed that they are interacting with an AI system.
Add a clear footer to your chat widget: "Powered by AI Support". Ensure the first message explicitly states "I am an AI assistant".
AI systems generating synthetic audio, image, video, or text (Deepfakes / GenAI) must mark the output in a machine-readable format that is detectable as artificially generated.
Deployers of emotion recognition systems or biometric categorization systems must inform natural persons exposed to them about the operation of the system.
These systems often fall under GDPR high-risk processing. Double-check your Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).
