With their signatures, providers and deployers of generative AI systems signal their intent to adhere to the code of practice as a way to comply with the obligations for transparency of AI-generated content (Article 50(2) and (4) of the AI Act).
For signatories, future enforcement will be focused on monitoring adherence to the code, which offers greater predictability, legal certainty across the EU, as well as reduced administrative burden. Organisations who sign the code will enjoy streamlined compliance, regardless of their place of establishment, operation and competent market surveillance authorities.
Signatories will be publicly listed in July 2026, ahead of the entry into application of the AI Act’s obligationsfor marking and labelling of AI-generatedcontent on 2 August 2026.
Any provider and deployer of a generative AI system may sign the code by completing the Signatory Form and sending it to CNECT-AIOFFICE-CODE-OF-PRACTICE-TRANSPARENCY@ec.europa.eu. The form should be signed by a person with sufficient authority to bind the provider to the code. For instance, a senior executive.
