The evidence

What the reporting establishes

What happened

The European Commission concluded on July 8 that the voluntary Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-generated content adequately covers specified AI Act duties; the AI Board adopted its assessment the next day.

Pressure point

The Commission explicitly says adherence is not conclusive evidence of compliance. Providers and deployers still carry legal responsibility across watermarking, disclosure, deepfakes, and covered text.

What to watch

Which major providers sign, how market-surveillance authorities treat adherence, and whether technical standards force an update before the code’s planned two-year review cycle.
