IN FORCE FROM 2 AUGUST 2026

EU AI Act Article 50 from 2 August 2026: the human-review exemption, and how to evidence it

Where this stands today

EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations apply from August 2, 2026. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the Digital Omnibus on AI, entered into force on 27 July 2026. Read in the enacting terms, it amends the application table in Article 113 to defer Chapter III, Sections 1, 2 and 3 to 2 December 2027 for Annex III high-risk systems and 2 August 2028 for Annex I high-risk systems. It does not move the Article 50 date. Article 50 sits in Chapter IV, and Chapter IV is not mentioned in the amending Regulation at all. It does, however, add a new Article 111(4): providers of systems generating synthetic audio, image, video or text content that were placed on the market before 2 August 2026 have until 2 December 2026 to comply with Article 50(2). It also replaces Article 50(7), the codes of practice provision. Read the scope carefully: the text limb bites on material published to inform the public on matters of public interest rather than on ordinary client deliverables, and there is an exemption where the text underwent substantive human review and a person holds editorial responsibility.

The words that matter

the exemption requires genuine human review and editorial responsibility, not a spell-check

What a record gives you

A receipt is exactly the record of substantive human review that the exemption turns on, made at the time rather than argued for afterwards.
