In force 7 months, effective 1 March 2026.

An AI transparency rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 6 September 2026.

What it requires

  • Design an AI system that interacts directly with users so that users can recognise they are interacting with an AI system, unless the law provides otherwise.
  • Mark AI-generated audio, image, and video content in a machine-readable format under the Government's regulations.
  • Notify the public clearly when providing AI-generated or AI-edited text, audio, images, or video that could cause confusion about the authenticity of an event or a person.
  • Attach an easily recognisable label to AI-generated or AI-edited content that simulates or replicates a real person's appearance or voice, or recreates a real event.

Logging duty

Article 11 requires a provider to design systems so users can recognise they are interacting with AI, to mark generated audio, image and video in a machine-readable format, to notify the public when generated or edited content could cause confusion about authenticity, to label content that simulates a real person or recreates a real event, and to keep that transparency information current throughout the system's or content's life. None of the six paragraphs names a log, record, event recording or audit trail, and paragraph 5's duty to keep information current is about keeping the label or notice itself up to date, not about retaining a record of having given it.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 11 requires a provider to design and operate an AI system that interacts directly with humans so that a user can recognise they are interacting with such a system, unless the law provides otherwise, and to mark AI-generated audio, image, and video content in a machine-readable format under forthcoming Government regulations.

A deployer must clearly notify the public when providing AI-generated or AI-edited text, audio, images, or video that could cause confusion about the authenticity of an event or a person, and must attach an easily recognisable label to AI-generated or AI-edited content that simulates or replicates a real person's appearance or voice or recreates a real event, with a lighter labeling standard for cinematographic, artistic, or creative works so the label does not obstruct enjoyment of the work.

Both providers and deployers must keep this transparency information current throughout the life of the system, product, or content.
