What changed?

The general application date in Article 113 arrived. Chatbot disclosure, synthetic-content marking and deepfake labelling under Article 50 now apply; the high-risk obligations do not, having been deferred by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. Recorded from secondary reporting; confirm against the Official Journal text.

What does it mean in practice?

Label AI interactions and synthetic content now; high-risk conformity work runs to the deferred dates.
