The duties in Article 50 that are not marking
Paragraph 1 requires people to be told they are dealing with an AI system unless it is obvious in context. Paragraph 4 requires deployers to disclose a deep fake, and in its second subparagraph to disclose AI-generated text published to inform the public. Paragraph 3 covers emotion recognition and biometric categorisation. Paragraph 5 says when the telling has to happen. As of 2026-09-12.
| Point | Where it sits | What the record holds |
|---|---|---|
| Paragraph 1 | Interaction with an AI system | Told to the person, unless obvious in context |
| Paragraph 4, first subparagraph | Content that is a deep fake | Deployers disclose |
| Paragraph 4, second subparagraph | AI-generated text published to inform the public | Deployers disclose |
| Paragraph 3 | Emotion recognition and biometric categorisation | Deployers inform the people exposed |
| Paragraph 5 | When the telling happens | Clearly and distinguishably, at the latest at first exposure |
Inclusion rule. Recorded from the article text as published. Each paragraph is recorded against the party the text names, and nothing is merged across paragraphs. Order. In the order the paragraphs appear in the article.
1Marking is the duty a video tool has reason to mention
A generator's product pages talk about marking because marking is the part that touches the file. Interaction, deep fakes, emotion recognition, published text and the timing rule touch the interface, the deployment and the publication instead, so a vendor page has less reason to mention them and mostly does not.
That absence is a property of vendor pages rather than of the article, and a reader who builds an understanding of Article 50 from product documentation will be missing most of it.
2Unless it is obvious in context is doing a lot of work
The interaction duty carries a qualifier about what a reasonably well-informed person would notice. That is the kind of clause whose application depends entirely on facts, which is why this record quotes it and stops.
What the record can say is where the sentence sits and what it applies to. What it cannot say is whether any particular interface is obvious enough, and any site that told you would be giving advice in the costume of a reference.
3Different paragraphs bind different people
Some duties fall on providers and some on deployers. A production using a generator is frequently a deployer, which means the paragraphs a vendor page never mentions can be the ones that apply to the production itself.
The register keeps the named party in every row for that reason. Who a duty binds is part of the duty, and a table that dropped it would be shorter and would answer nothing.
