In plain language: if you put a new generative AI system in front of EU users, transparency obligations under Article 50 apply from 2 August 2026. Legacy generative systems follow on 2 December 2026, Annex III high-risk obligations on 2 December 2027, and the Cyber Resilience Act completes on 11 December 2027. Penalties reach €35M or 7% of global turnover.
