provider · limited risk · Article 50
Providers of AI systems, including general-purpose AI systems, generating synthetic audio, image, video or text content shall ensure that the outputs of the AI system are marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated.
How to satisfy it: Applies to the provider of the generating system, not the deployer, and cannot be contracted upstream. The obligation does not apply where the system performs an assistive function for standard editing, or does not substantially alter the input data provided by the deployer or the semantics thereof. For systems already on the market at the Article 50 transparency date the duty is deferred by Article 111(4); see preexisting_synthetic_marking.

provider · limited risk · Article 50
Providers of AI systems generating synthetic content that were placed on the market or put into service before the Article 50 transparency date shall comply with the Article 50(2) marking and detection obligation from the Article 111(4) transitional date.
How to satisfy it: The transitional limb of the Article 50(2) duty. It reaches only systems already on the market at the Article 50 transparency date; anything placed on the market on or after that date carries no transition and is in scope immediately under synthetic_content_marking. Content generated before that date does not require retroactive labelling.
