One obligation applies identically in all 27 Member States

Article 50 of the AI Act has applied since 2 August 2026, on the same date, in the same terms, with no transposition margin. It is the only genuinely pan-European obligation on customer service.

What Article 50 requires

Disclosure of artificial nature

A system interacting directly with natural persons must inform them that they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious to a reasonably well-informed person.

Article 50(1), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689

At every point of human interaction

The Commission guidelines adopted on 20 July 2026 clarify that disclosure is required at each point of human interaction, not only at the opening of the conversation.

Marking of synthetic content

In machine-readable format. Systems placed on the market before 2 August 2026 have a grace period until 2 December 2026.

Emotion recognition at work is prohibited

Prohibited since 2 February 2025, with no transition period, save for medical or safety reasons. This reaches sentiment analysis applied to agent performance evaluation.

Article 5
Adoption preceded preparation

In Spain, 89 % of platforms report using AI; in Portugal, 30 % of contacts are already resolved by automated agents and 35 % of operations use generative AI. The obligation became enforceable one month before this site was published.
