EU AI Act decision tree shows when AI-generated content needs a visible label

A Reddit post highlights a decision tree for Article 50 of the EU AI Act, created by Markus Begerow, and uses it to explain when AI-generated content actually needs a visible label.
The key distinction is between text and images:
- For text, the relevant questions include whether it concerns a matter of public interest and whether a human has reviewed it or taken editorial responsibility.
- For images, the focus is whether real people, places, objects, or events are depicted or manipulated in a deceptively realistic way.
- Deepfakes may require visible labeling.
The post argues that not every AI-generated asset needs a visible label; context and the risk of misleading users matter.
