EU AI Act Compliance
How AuthMark ensures your organization meets the European Union's AI Act requirements for content authentication and transparency
The EU AI Act: A New Era of AI Regulation
The European Union AI Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024, represents the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It mandates strict requirements for AI-generated content authentication, transparency, and user protection.
Organizations operating in the EU face fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for non-compliance. Understanding and implementing these requirements is critical for continued EU operations.
Key EU AI Act Requirements
Mandatory Watermarking
Article 50(2): AI-generated content must be marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as artificially generated or manipulated.
Implementation: Requires cryptographic watermarking technology that is both machine-readable and does not impact user experience.
Transparency Obligations
Users must be informed when interacting with AI systems or AI-generated content.
Implementation: Organizations must provide clear disclosure mechanisms and verification capabilities for users.
Real-time Protection
Prevention of AI-enabled fraud and manipulation, especially in high-risk sectors.
Implementation: High-risk sectors require real-time authentication systems to prevent AI-enabled fraud and manipulation.
Audit Trail & Documentation
Comprehensive records of AI system usage and content generation for compliance audits.
Implementation: Comprehensive audit trails and documentation systems are required for compliance verification.
