The European Commission has published the second draft of the Code of Practice on marking and labelling AI-generated content, aimed at supporting compliance with the transparency obligations under Article 50 AI Act. According to the Commission, this second version integrates feedback collected from industry, academia, civil society, Member States and Members of the European Parliament, and has been streamlined to provide more flexibility for signatories, reduce compliance burden and improve legal clarity and practicality. The draft also promotes the use of open standards and a possible EU icon for labelling AI-generated content.
Feedback from participants and observers to the code of Practice is open until 30 March 2026. The Code is expected to be finalised by early June 2026, with the transparency rules applying from 2 August 2026.
