However, if it develops an AI-based system, markets it under its own name or brand, substantially modifies it, or changes its intended purpose, it may assume the role of an AI provider rather than that of a deployer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThese responsibilities should therefore be clearly defined in contracts with clients, suppliers and technology partners.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"c2pa-ai-act\" aria-labelledby=\"c2pa-ai-act-title\">\n<h2 id=\"c2pa-ai-act-title\">What Is the Relationship Between the AI Act, C2PA and Content Credentials?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe AI Act establishes transparency objectives and, for providers of generative AI systems, requires synthetic content to be detectable through machine-readable markings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, it does not generally require organisations to adopt a single specific technology.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.htt.it\/c2pa-content-credentials-contenuti-ai\/\">C2PA<\/a><\/strong> standard and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.htt.it\/c2pa-content-credentials-contenuti-ai\/\">Content Credentials<\/a><\/strong> represent one of the most significant solutions currently available for documenting the origin and modification history of images, videos, audio files and other digital content.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nContent Credentials may include information such as:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the origin of the file;<\/li>\n<li>the tool used to create it;<\/li>\n<li>the modifications applied;<\/li>\n<li>whether artificial intelligence was used;<\/li>\n<li>the entity that signed the provenance information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nC2PA can therefore contribute to the technical transparency required by the AI Act, but it does not by itself satisfy every compliance obligation.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"htt-highlight-box htt-highlight-box--brand\" role=\"note\" aria-labelledby=\"c2pa-insight-title\">\n<h3 id=\"c2pa-insight-title\">The Digital Passport for Content<\/h3>\n<p>\nIn our dedicated guide we explain how C2PA, Content Credentials and content provenance verification systems work, and how they help improve trust in digital content.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.htt.it\/c2pa-content-credentials-contenuti-ai\/\"><br \/>\nRead our article about C2PA and Content Credentials<br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Is C2PA mandatory from 2 August 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>\nNo. The AI Act requires transparency and detectability outcomes but does not require every organisation to adopt C2PA.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNevertheless, C2PA is likely to become one of the most valuable technologies for demonstrating file provenance and preserving information about content transformations.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Does writing <strong><em>&#8220;Generated with AI&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> replace technical marking?<\/h3>\n<p>\nNot necessarily.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA visible label informs people, whereas technical marking enables platforms and automated tools to identify synthetic content. The two mechanisms serve different purposes and can complement each other.\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"ai-act-penalties\" aria-labelledby=\"ai-act-penalties-title\">\n<h2 id=\"ai-act-penalties-title\">Enforcement, Liability and Penalties<\/h2>\n<p>\nFrom 2 August 2026, additional elements of the AI Act&#8217;s governance and enforcement framework become applicable.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor providers of general-purpose AI models, the European Commission, through the AI Office, is empowered to exercise supervisory and enforcement powers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Regulation establishes different levels of administrative penalties depending on the nature of the infringement. Maximum fines may reach:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>up to \u20ac35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for certain prohibited AI practices;<\/li>\n<li>up to \u20ac15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover for other violations of the Regulation;<\/li>\n<li>different amounts or percentages where incorrect, misleading or incomplete information is provided to the competent authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe actual penalty depends on the type of organisation involved, the specific infringement and the circumstances of the individual case. Small and medium-sized enterprises benefit from proportionality criteria and specific maximum thresholds.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"htt-warning-box\" role=\"note\" aria-labelledby=\"not-only-fines-title\">\n<h3 id=\"not-only-fines-title\">Compliance Is About More Than Financial Penalties<\/h3>\n<p>\nPoor governance of artificial intelligence can also lead to reputational damage, contractual disputes, intellectual property issues, privacy violations, discriminatory outcomes and liability towards customers or affected individuals.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMaintaining an AI register, providing staff training, ensuring meaningful human oversight and assessing AI suppliers are therefore not only regulatory requirements but also essential components of effective enterprise risk management.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"practical-cases-ai-act\" aria-labelledby=\"practical-cases-ai-act-title\">\n<h2 id=\"practical-cases-ai-act-title\">Practical Examples: What Companies Should Actually Do<\/h2>\n<p>\nCompliance with the AI Act does not depend solely on the name of the platform being used. Organisations must assess the purpose of the AI system, the type of content it generates, the context in which that content is published and the role assumed by the organisation.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"htt-highlight-box\" role=\"note\" aria-labelledby=\"practical-principle-title\">\n<h3 id=\"practical-principle-title\">The key principle<\/h3>\n<p>\nUsing ChatGPT, Gemini, NanoBanana, Claude, Midjourney, Canva or any other AI platform does not automatically trigger the same legal obligations in every situation. Responsibilities change depending on whether the AI interacts with people, generates a deepfake, produces public-interest content or is integrated into a service offered to customers.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"sme-2-august\">What should an SME do from 2 August 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>\nAt a minimum, an SME should know which artificial intelligence systems are being used within the organisation and for what purposes. The first practical step is to create an inventory of AI systems and AI use cases.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe organisation should then:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"htt-check-list\">\n<li>identify all AI platforms, accounts and integrations currently in use;<\/li>\n<li>determine who is responsible for using each AI system;<\/li>\n<li>verify whether public-facing chatbots or virtual assistants are deployed;<\/li>\n<li>review how AI-generated images, audio, video and text are published;<\/li>\n<li>define who reviews and approves AI-assisted content;<\/li>\n<li>provide staff with AI training appropriate to their roles and responsibilities;<\/li>\n<li>document the measures that have been implemented;<\/li>\n<li>review contracts and terms of service with AI providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nFor SMEs using AI solely as an internal productivity tool, compliance obligations may remain relatively limited. However, organisations must still promote AI literacy among staff and comply with applicable legislation relating to data protection, confidentiality, copyright and liability. Article 4 of the AI Act applies to both providers and deployers, including SMEs, requiring measures that are proportionate to the specific context and level of risk.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"chatgpt-obligations\">Does using ChatGPT or Claude at work mean the AI Act applies?<\/h3>\n<p>\nYes. Professional use of ChatGPT may fall within the scope of the AI Act. However, this does not mean that every employee entering a prompt must comply with every obligation contained in the Regulation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA company using ChatGPT is generally considered a <strong>deployer<\/strong>, meaning a professional user of an AI system supplied by another organisation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe organisation should therefore assess:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the purpose for which the AI system is being used;<\/li>\n<li>the type of data entered into the system;<\/li>\n<li>whether the outputs are published or used to support decisions;<\/li>\n<li>whether the content concerns matters of public interest;<\/li>\n<li>whether effective human oversight is in place;<\/li>\n<li>whether staff have received appropriate AI training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nUsing ChatGPT to improve the wording of an internal email is fundamentally different from using it to automatically publish news articles, screen job candidates or autonomously respond to customers.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ai-images-linkedin\">Do I need to disclose AI-generated images on LinkedIn?<\/h3>\n<p>\nNot every image created with artificial intelligence requires the same visible disclosure.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDisclosure becomes particularly important where the image:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"htt-check-list\">\n<li>realistically depicts an identifiable person;<\/li>\n<li>portrays an event that never actually happened as though it were real;<\/li>\n<li>artificially alters an authentic photograph;<\/li>\n<li>could reasonably be mistaken for documentary evidence;<\/li>\n<li>falls within the AI Act definition of a deepfake;<\/li>\n<li>is used to inform or influence the public on an important matter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nFor clearly illustrative, conceptual or abstract graphics, the risk of misleading viewers is generally much lower.

The Digital Omnibus postpones the application of the rules for standalone high-risk AI systems listed in Annex III until 2 December 2027 and for AI systems integrated into Annex I products until 2 August 2028.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does a website using an AI chatbot have to inform users?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nGenerally, yes. Users must be informed that they are interacting with an AI system unless the artificial nature of the interaction is already obvious. The notice should be provided before or at the beginning of the first interaction.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Do I have to disclose every image created with artificial intelligence?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nNo single rule applies to every AI-generated image. The assessment depends on the nature of the content, its context, whether it could reasonably be perceived as authentic and whether it qualifies as a deepfake. Deepfakes must be clearly identified as artificially generated or manipulated.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Is simply writing &#8220;AI-generated image&#8221; sufficient?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nA visible label may satisfy the obligation to inform people in certain situations, but it does not necessarily replace the machine-readable technical marking required from providers of generative AI systems.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Do AI-generated images published before 2 August 2026 need to be labelled retrospectively?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nNo. The European Commission expressly states that content generated before 2 August 2026 does not need to be labelled retrospectively. Updating previously published content is encouraged where appropriate but is not generally mandatory. Moreover, not every AI-generated image requires a visible disclosure. The publication obligation primarily concerns deepfakes, namely images, audio or video closely resembling real people, objects, places or events that could appear authentic. Clearly illustrative, conceptual or fictional graphics do not automatically fall into this category.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does C2PA become mandatory from 2 August 2026?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nNo. The AI Act does not generally require organisations to adopt the C2PA standard. However, C2PA and Content Credentials can help demonstrate the provenance, authenticity and modification history of digital content.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>If I publish an AI-generated image on LinkedIn, do I need to disclose it?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nIt depends on the content and the context. A clearly illustrative graphic is not automatically considered a deepfake. Disclosure becomes particularly important when the image appears authentic, depicts real people, reconstructs events or could reasonably mislead the audience.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Do Canva&#8217;s AI features fall within the scope of the AI Act?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nYes, when Canva is used to generate or manipulate content using artificial intelligence. Simply using Canva as a graphic design application does not automatically trigger the obligations applicable to synthetic content.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>How should a WordPress website using an AI chatbot be adapted?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nThe website should clearly inform users that they are interacting with an AI system, display the notice before or during the first interaction and, where appropriate, provide a way to escalate to a human operator. Organisations should also review privacy implications, transmitted data and the AI provider&#8217;s contractual terms.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does using ChatGPT professionally mean a company must comply with the AI Act?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nGenerally, yes. A company using ChatGPT in a professional context is typically considered a deployer. The applicable obligations depend on how the system is used. AI governance and staff training are broadly relevant, while transparency and additional obligations depend on the specific content or services produced.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Must every article written with ChatGPT be disclosed?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nDisclosure is required for AI-generated or AI-manipulated text published to inform the public about matters of public interest. It may not be required where there is effective human editorial oversight and a natural or legal person assumes responsibility for the publication.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does the AI literacy obligation start on 2 August 2026?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nNo. The AI literacy obligation has applied since 2 February 2025. Training should be proportionate to people&#8217;s roles, the AI systems they use and the risks associated with their activities.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does using ChatGPT automatically make a company an AI provider?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nNo. In most cases, a company using a third-party AI service acts as a deployer rather than a provider. However, it may become a provider if it develops, substantially modifies or markets an AI system under its own name or brand.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>What is the first document an organisation should prepare for AI Act compliance?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nThe most useful starting point is an inventory of AI systems and AI use cases. Without a complete inventory, it is impossible to determine responsibilities, assess risks, identify transparency obligations or plan training and governance activities.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Do SMEs also have to comply with the AI Act?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nYes, whenever they fall within the scope of the Regulation. The applicable obligations depend on the organisation&#8217;s role and the way AI is used, rather than on company size alone. The AI Act nevertheless provides proportionality measures and specific support for SMEs.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"htt-faq-item\">\n<summary>Who is responsible for enforcing the AI Act?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"htt-faq-item__content\">\n<p>\nEnforcement involves the European Commission, the AI Office and the competent national authorities.
