🏷️ AI content is getting labels.

Just like energy ratings or safety certifications help you make informed choices, the same logic now applies to AI.

From 2 August 2026, the AI Act will require clear labelling in key cases:
🔹 Deepfakes
🔹 AI-generated or manipulated content
🔹 Interactions with chatbots and AI systems

You have the right to know whether what you see, hear or read has been made or altered by AI 🤖

Commission publishes Code of Practice on marking and labelling AI-generated content

Today, the European Commission published the final Code of Practice on marking and labelling of AI-generated content.

@European Commission Another tool to make us pay..
Your certificates on all things just made the price up with same quality, stop your scam.
You benefit only the wealthy.
If you go on soon we will have a handful only of big corps ruling over EU, not you.
And MOSTLY not the citizens!!!!!!
In these times you dare come out with more certificates to pay?
Shame on you!
Hey but you grow what you seed.

@zer0unplanned Honestly, I'm happy to see forced disclosure of AI generated content. Streaming services are promoting AI content because it's much cheaper for them to stream than proper music with actual artists who want compensation. Right now these discount tracks are pushed to unsuspecting customers.

The same goes for posters. Finding a human made poster these days can be very difficult, because everything is infiltrated by vast amounts of AI slop.

In both of these cases, the wealthy earn more because they either get to use AI to trick you into listening to something they won't have to pay that much for, or because they sell the AI generation itself (which, granted, they lose unfathomable amounts of money on, which I cannot fault).

the CE label really isn't the good example you think it is

also energy labels? I'm all for those energy classes and normed labels… but then there was that A++++-Fuckup?

…and that was solved by making the previous A into a C and the previous A++ into A? And the label looked the same? Because making it distinct would be too obvious?

All I'm saying is: your idea might be okay, but the examples are stupid

@Cegorach @European Commission It is all scam!!! there are no other models!
Same for housing, just pay the expert a sum and he gives it an A to your building's isolation is how things work but EU commision wants to enforce that even and add even more.
I swear each day this account posts it makes me regret to be born in EU frankly if I was rich I would leave now immediatly

No, it's not all scam.

Energy classes for refrigerators and light fixtures actually kinda work. Only the names are stupid.

Yes, building energy classes are total bullshit.

It sometimes works out and sometimes it doesn't. The way how the criteria for such labels designed is literally "design by committee". So obviously there's a lot of those things around that are just stupid bureaucracy and we have nobody going around to actually remove such things.

But claiming "it's all scam" doesn't help. That's just as useless.

@jansteen @stiiin nope, useful to read further: “These transparency obligations, applicable from 2 August 2026…Even though adherence to the code is voluntary, the transparency requirements under article 50 of the AI Act are legal obligations…it provides an EU-wide recognised practical framework for signatories to demonstrate compliance with those obligations.”

Opt-in now to get ready to show compliance in August.

Continuing to read: "The Code is voluntary and … to help … systems meet the AI Act transparency obligations that will apply from 2 August 2026. From that date, the AI Act will require clear labelling." It's voluntary until August, at which point it becomes obligatory.

I was skeptical until I read the post, but it might actually work. The obligation is on publishers to mark their content: news papers that use LLMs to generate articles, companies that put up a support chat-bot, … If they don't, they can be convicted according to the law.

There's a gap for shit-flingers on Twitter, whether funded by enemies in the US or Russia, but any law setting out to regulate around that will fail.

As I read it, this is meant to force European companies to disclose if they outsourced customer service to Johnny 5 or writing newspapers to Tom Servo. And that's a genuinely good and meaningful step, IMO. From just the post, it's not entirely clear how (if) it will apply to SoMe.

Today, the code is opt-in. Come August, the legal requirements are obligated.

I also would like to have a *binding* and enforceable way for disallowing ai scraping my products. They all keep ignoring my labels, banners, headers an explicit network bans I've put in front of my web server. They try to diminish the revenue of my work.

I need a way to force microsoft, meta, bytedance, tencent and more stop hammering at my little server and taking away resources for humans (and money, time and quality)!

Now make use of it illegal in all merchandice and adverticement unless the company can prove they trained their LLM with only their own data which theh fully own the copyright for.

Also ban public LLM's (also known as Generative AI) for its proven copyright infringement of unfathomable quantity that should not be in the hands of consumers of companies. Fight the erosion of information, ownership, and the very ability for humans to think for themselves.

And today, as heard in the actual AI-Podcast "KI-Update" from @heiseonline big companys like #ikea, #H&M, #zalando, #inditex wrote a letter to act against this and want to have an exeption. Because, AI-Models for clothing photos or fakes for living rooms are much cheaper than paying a model for a photoshooting or an interieur designer to put the newest Smörebrod-Furniture in a room. And, will they get that exeption? Of course they will. 🤨

Incorrect usage of the CE mark... You can download the mark here: single-market-economy.ec.europ…

CE marking

The letters ‘CE’ appear on many products traded on the extended Single Market in the European Economic Area (EEA). They signify that products sold in the EEA have been assessed to meet high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
