EU Icons for labelling AI-generated content
6 hours ago
- The EU has created a set of icons for labeling AI-generated content, as part of transparency rules under the AI Act (Article 50(4)).
- Labeling is required for deep fakes (image, audio, video) and AI-generated text on public interest matters without human review or editorial control.
- Exceptions include artistic/satirical works, content authorized by law for crime prevention, and text that underwent human editorial review.
- The icons come in four variations (black, white, with or without transparency) and should be clearly visible, embedded, or placed without overlays.
- Use of the icons is voluntary but the disclosure obligation is mandatory; deployers must ensure compliance with the AI Act.
