EU AI Act Article 50 Readiness Checker

It's enforceable now, not in some future year.

EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations — disclosing when users are interacting with an AI system, labeling deepfakes, and machine-readable marking of AI-generated content — became enforceable on August 2, 2026, and apply extraterritorially to any organization whose AI systems are used within the EU or affect EU residents, regardless of where the company is headquartered. This checklist scores your organization's actual readiness against the specific, currently-enforceable obligations, distinct from the separate, later-delayed high-risk Annex III requirements (December 2027) and Annex I requirements (August 2028) that some guidance conflates with Article 50 itself.
