Transparency requirements for AI: what does this mean for you?

Public explanation by the Dutch Data Protection Authority of the transparency rules that have applied since 2 August 2026, with a downloadable infographic. Four situations: AI systems such as chatbots must be recognisable, AI-generated content receives a digital marking, people are informed about emotion recognition and biometric categorisation, and deepfakes and unedited AI articles on matters of public concern receive a visible label. The Authority confirms that systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026 have four additional months for the marking obligation, namely until 2 December 2026.
