EU-wideEU AI Act

AI Act: end of grace period for marking AI-generated content in pre-existing systems; ban on non-consensual intimate deepfake generators

Generative AI systems that were already on the market before 2 August 2026 get until 2 December 2026 to implement machine-readable marking and detection of AI-generated output. From the same date AI systems built to generate non-consensual intimate or sexual imagery are prohibited outright.

Confirm that every generative feature you provide emits watermarks or provenance metadata by 2 December 2026. Check vendor roadmaps if you resell or embed third-party generators. Remove or block any functionality that could generate intimate imagery of real people.

EU-widePlatform Work Directive

Platform Work Directive: presumption of employment and algorithmic-management rules must apply nationally

Directive (EU) 2024/2831 must be transposed by 2 December 2026. Digital labour platforms face a rebuttable presumption that their workers are employees where the platform controls the work, must be transparent about automated monitoring and decision systems, keep humans in the loop for decisions like account suspension, and may not process certain personal data (emotions, private chats).

Assess whether your contractors would be presumed employees under the national test and budget for reclassification. Document every automated system that affects pay, tasks or access, prepare worker-facing explanations, and set up human review of significant decisions. Track your Member State's transposition law.
