Marking duty reaches existing generative AI; nudifier and CSAM ban
Two changes apply on this date. First, generative AI systems already on the market before 2 August 2026 must comply with the Art. 50(2) marking/watermarking obligation. Second, the new ban on AI systems that generate non-consensual intimate imagery ("nudifier" apps) and CSAM takes effect.
Generative features you shipped before August 2026 lose their grace period: the marking duty now covers them too. Check every place your product emits synthetic text, images or audio.
