What is the EU AI transparency code? | Explained

The European Union is implementing a new transparency code under the AI Act requiring mandatory labeling of AI-generated content, such as deepfakes and manipulated text. Developers face significant fines for non-compliance, though exceptions exist for artistic works and legally authorized content.
The European Union is set to make labelling of AI-generated content mandatory from August 2, in a move to ensure transparency and enable human users to distinguish manipulated content online.
