 "text": "Article 50 — EU AI Act transparency obligations | CSOAI Home EU AI Act ProvBench Article 50 Passport Article 50 — transparency obligations EU AI Act Article 50 requires providers and deployers of certain AI systems to disclose that a user is interacting with an AI, to mark synthetic content, and to read or categorise biometrics only with consent and disclosure. The obligations are limited-risk , not high-risk, but they apply to every system the Act touches that meets the triggers. What Article 50 covers Art 50(1) — providers of AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons must inform those persons that they are interacting with an AI, unless this is obvious from context. Art 50(2) — providers of synthetic content (text, audio, image, video) generated by AI must mark it in a machine-readable way that is effective, interoperable, robust and reliable as far as technically feasible. Art 50(3) — providers of AI systems that generate or manipulate image, audio or video constituting a deepfake must disclose that the content has been artificially generated or manipulated. Art 50(4) — providers of AI systems that generate synthetic text published to inform the public must mark it in a machine-readable way. Art 50(5) — deployers of emotion-recognition or biometric-categorisation systems must inform the exposed persons. Why it matters in practice Article 50 is the only Article most \"AI users\" will ever interact with directly. A chatbot on a website, a deepfake in a news feed, an image with a synthetic provenance claim — these are all in scope. Fines are up to 3% of global annual turnover or €15M, whichever is higher. What CSOAI measures for Article 50 Chatbot disclosure — does the system identify itself as AI in the first user-facing message? Measured against the AI Act frozen-split harness. Deepfake / synthetic content marking — does the generated content carry a machine-readable marker that survives the real-world transforms ProvBench runs? ProvBench measured 0 of 20 embedded manifests survive any measured transform. Biometric / emotion inference disclosure — if the system reads emotion, does it disclose that to the user? The free Article 50 Passport The Article 50 Passport is a free signed record that documents your system's transparency posture in about two minutes. The record is signed with our public key and verifiable offline. It is not a certification ; it is a self-assessment evidence artifact. Auditors and counsel can recompute from the published harness. Boundary Nothing on this page is legal advice. The measurements are the evidence layer; the legal interpretation is its own layer (notified bodies, regulators, counsel). For a binding view of Article 50's application to your system, engage a lawyer. CSOAI Ltd · UK company 16939677 · Every published figure traces to a signed, verifiable record.",
