General awareness, not legal advice, as at the date on the course.

What your team will learn
Upon course completion, employees will gain a full and clear understanding of:
- What Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires, and from what date
- The one narrow grace period that still applies, and exactly what it covers
- Why "the AI Act was delayed" is a common but incomplete claim, and what actually changed
- The difference between a provider's disclosure and marking duties and a deployer's notification and labelling duties
- Why a deployer cannot rely on a provider's machine-readable mark alone
- How to apply a practical, plain-English checklist for meeting the Article 50 disclosure standard
Who it is for
Written for legal. No technical background is needed, and nothing in it assumes a previous course.
This course from Blocknorth explains the EU AI Act's Article 50 transparency duties (in force from 2 August 2026), the rules that apply to almost any business whose AI tools generate content or interact with people. Over four short units it covers exactly who has to disclose what and when, the one narrow grace period still running, and the common misconception that the whole law was delayed.
Course contents
4 units. Each ends with a 10-question quiz; 8 correct unlocks the next unit.
What Article 50 Actually Requires
- The duty split between providers and deployers, and what counts as an AI system in scope
- The effective date of 2 August 2026, and the one narrow grace period running to 2 December 2026
- The Digital Omnibus, and why it did not delay Article 50
- The penalties involved, and the lower ceiling that applies for smaller organisations
Provider Duties in Depth
- Who counts as a provider, and the Article 50(1) duty to disclose AI interaction
- The "obvious from context" exception, and where it genuinely applies
- The Article 50(2) duty to mark synthetic output, machine-readably and detectably
- The two mistakes providers make most often, and how to avoid them
Deployer Duties in Depth
- Who counts as a deployer, and the Article 50(3) notification duty for emotion recognition and biometric categorisation
- The Article 50(4) deepfake disclosure duty, and the carve-out for artistic and creative work
- Why a deployer cannot rely on a provider's mark, and needs a separate, human-perceptible label
- The public-interest text duty, the editorial-control exception, and why employees are not separate deployers
Meeting the Standard in Practice
- The Article 50(5) disclosure standard: clear, distinguishable, timely and accessible
- The voluntary Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-generated Content, and why it carries real weight
- The Commission Guidelines, the EU icon set, and why no harmonised standard is yet in force
- A practical, plain-English closing checklist for providers and for deployers
