European Commission consults on the second draft of the Code of Practice on Marking and Labelling of AI-generated content
Deadline: 30 March 2026
The European Commission has published for consultation the second version of the draft Code of Practice on Marking and Labelling of AI-generated content, developed to support providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems in complying with the transparency requirements set out in Article 50 of the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). The Code is a voluntary instrument developed with the support of the Commission to facilitate the practical implementation of these obligations.
The draft was prepared by independent experts and integrates feedback received from hundreds of participants and observers from industry, academia, civil society and other stakeholders. Contributions were gathered through an EU-wide survey, stakeholder meetings and workshops held in January 2026, as well as through input from Member States and the European Parliament.
The document proposes measures for the technical marking and detection of AI-generated content, including the use of secured metadata, watermarking technologies and other verification tools. It also addresses the labelling of deepfakes and AI-generated publications concerning matters of public interest, establishing requirements regarding the design and placement of labels, icons or disclaimers in order to ensure a minimum level of uniformity.
The European Commission is collecting feedback on this draft until 30 March 2026, with the final version of the Code of Practice expected to be published in early June 2026. The rules on the transparency of AI-generated content will become applicable from 2 August 2026.
