the ai-generated label just got its rulebook. the european commission published the final code of practice on marking ai content, per oct 6, as ai act enforcement starts.
the machine-readable tag now has a standard.
Context
Verified event date: the final Code of Practice on transparency of AI-generated content was published in June 2026; Freshfields (Jun 25, 2026) says it came out on 10 June 2026, after drafts in December 2025 and March 2026. The Commission describes it as voluntary, a way for providers and deployers of generative AI to meet the AI Act's marking and labelling obligations under Article 50.
Freshfields says the Digital Omnibus Regulation alters the original 2 August 2026 application date for Article 50 provider obligations, and that the Commission is preparing further guidance on Article 50.
The existence of a final code on marking and labelling AI content matches the Commission's pages. The post says it was published 'per oct 6' as enforcement starts; the sources read date the final code to June 2026 and say the Article 50 timeline was changed by the Digital Omnibus, so the Oct 6 date and the enforcement start are not seen in the sources read, so unsupported here, not refuted. The code is voluntary, and 'the machine-readable tag now has a standard' is the author's.
'the ai-generated label just got its rulebook' is the author's opinion.
