If you get it wrong
Criminal exposure note
The ordinance's general penalty provisions punish obstructing the Haute Autorité de la Communication's action and a host's or editor's failure to fight illicit content, but no criminal penalty in the ordinance is scoped specifically to a failure of the labeling or detection duty itself.

Settledness
- As of
- Open questions
- Which technical standards govern the automatic detection tools required by article 53, which says they are to operate "selon des standards techniques définis par les dispositions des textes en vigueur" ("according to technical standards defined by the provisions of the texts in force"), when article 54 leaves regulatory texts to be issued later and the ordinance itself defines no such standard?

Logging duty
Article 53 requires every social-network or platform editor to preserve the origin metadata of AI-generated content and transmit it to the Haute Autorité de la Communication within eight days once that content becomes the subject of a judicial or administrative investigation. The clause states no retention period independent of an investigation, and no channel other than the Haute Autorité de la Communication, so a judicial investigation still routes through the regulator rather than reaching a court directly.

What this law does
Ordonnance n°0011/PR/2026 requires every social-network or digital-platform editor, within twelve months of the ordinance's publication (by April 2027), to deploy tools that automatically detect AI-generated content published or shared on its service according to technical standards set by other regulations, to affix a visible, clear, and permanent label to any content identified as generated or substantially modified by an AI system, accessible to the user without any further action on their part, and to preserve and hand over to the Haute Autorité de la Communication, within eight days, the origin metadata of AI-generated content that is the subject of a judicial or administrative investigation.
An emergency-relief judge may also order the forced insertion of an origin marking on AI-generated content as a provisional measure.
