The European Union has introduced new regulations aimed at enhancing the identification of chatbots and AI-generated content online. These transparency obligations, part of the EU's AI Act, became effective on August 2, 2026. Companies are now required to disclose when users are interacting with AI models and whether content has been created or modified by AI. The rules vary for providers, who develop and market AI systems, and deployers, who utilize these systems, with some companies, such as Meta and SpaceXAI, falling into both categories.
