AI Act Article 50 Transparency Reference
Start with your operator role, then review direct interaction, synthetic output, deepfakes, public-interest text and biometric or emotion exposure. Treat unknown facts as unresolved and inspect each finding together with its reason, next step and official source.
Quick reference

|---|---|---|---|
| 50(1) | Provider | Direct interaction with people | Inform people they are interacting with AI, subject to the obvious-in-context exception. |
| 50(2) | Provider | Synthetic audio, image, video or text | Machine-readable marking and detectability; review technical feasibility and exceptions separately. |
| 50(3) | Deployer | Biometric categorisation or emotion recognition | Inform exposed people and review the applicable personal-data rules. |
| 50(4) | Deployer | Deepfake image, audio or video | Disclose artificial origin; special creative contexts have tailored rules. |

| 50(5) | Relevant operator | Information required by paragraphs 1–4 | Clear, distinguishable, accessible information by first interaction or exposure. |
| 50(6) | Relevant operator | Other AI Act or national/EU duties | Other obligations remain; a transparency result is not a complete classification. |
