by wkh0000
Verdict — duty applies
Article 50(2) — synthetic content must be marked
This tool generates synthetic content. Article 50(2) places a marking duty on providers of generative systems — output should be marked machine-readably as AI-generated — and deployers publishing that content carry the practical transparency expectations that follow from it.
Accessibility AI: where this tool sits
