For music released in the EU

Document your AI use on any track.

A free tool that turns EU AI Act Article 50 transparency into a few plain questions — then builds a dated AI Music Transparency & Provenance Record you can hand to a distributor, platform or partner.

What this is — and is not

This tool helps the creator releasing the music document AI use and produce appropriate disclosures. It is not a certification, and it does not assess or certify whether Suno, Udio, ElevenLabs or any other AI provider meets their own obligations.

You supply the facts; the system organises them into an Article 50-oriented record. It never invents information or assumes provider compliance.

A plain-English guide

EU AI Act Article 50 for Music: what applies, and what is due on 2 December 2026

Article 50 of the EU AI Act sets transparency duties for AI-generated content. As we read the current text, those duties apply from 2 August 2026, and providers of generative AI systems already on the EU market have until 2 December 2026 to implement machine-readable marking of their output. For a music release this splits in two: a provider-side marking duty and a deployer-side disclosure duty. This free tool helps the person releasing the track document and disclose their side.

Free to use — no paywall, no credit card, no per-record fee.

What Article 50 requires, in plain terms

Article 50 is the EU AI Act's transparency article. Two parts matter for music: 50(2) asks providers of generative AI to mark their synthetic output so it is machine-readable and detectable; 50(4) asks whoever deploys such content — a label, distributor or artist — to disclose AI-generated or manipulated material, and in particular content that resembles a real person ("deepfakes"). It is a transparency-and-labelling regime, not a ban on AI music.

The two dates: 2 August 2026 and 2 December 2026

As we read it, the Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. Generative systems that were already on the EU market before that date get a short runway — until 2 December 2026 — to implement machine-readable output marking. If you release AI-assisted music into the EU, the practical takeaway is: have your disclosures and provenance in order now, and expect providers' machine-readable marks to land by December.

Did the Digital Omnibus delay Article 50?

Short version, as we read the current text: no — Article 50's transparency duties were not deferred. Boards that heard "the AI Act was delayed" sometimes assume every deadline moved; that is not our understanding for Article 50. Regulatory detail here moves quickly, so treat this as our reading and confirm against a primary source before you rely on it.

Does it apply to you? Provider vs deployer

The obligations split by role. A provider makes or places the AI system on the market — an AI music generator or voice model. A deployer uses that system under its own authority — a label, distributor or artist releasing the output. Most music businesses are deployers: their duty sits under Article 50(4) (disclosure and labelling), while the machine-readable marking of the raw AI output is the provider's Article 50(2) duty. This tool documents the deployer's side; it does not assess or certify any provider's compliance.

Machine-readable marking: watermarking, C2PA and DDEX

"Machine-readable" marking spans three complementary layers: an inaudible audio watermark embedded in the waveform (which survives transcoding and re-upload), a C2PA / Content Credentials provenance manifest attached to the file, and DDEX disclosure fields carried through the distribution supply chain to platforms. They answer different questions — is a mark present in the audio, what is its documented history, and how is it declared to a DSP — and a robust release uses more than one.

Where an authorized, consented voice adaptation sits

Most guidance covers two extremes: fully synthetic generation, or unauthorized voice cloning and fraud. The middle case is under-documented: a licensed, consented adaptation of a real performance by the original artist — for example an artist re-voicing their own song into another language. As we read Article 50(4), disclosure can still apply even when the use is authorized, but editorial-control and artistic-context factors shape how. Consent is a rights question; Article 50 transparency is a separate, additional duty. This is our reading of a genuinely open question — not legal advice.

Penalties and who carries the liability

For an Article 50 transparency breach, penalties can reach EUR 15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher, under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Liability tracks the role: providers answer for marking, deployers for disclosure. Documenting who did what — provider, deployer and any service in between — is exactly what a transparency record is for.

The voluntary Code of Practice on transparency

Alongside the regulation, a voluntary Code of Practice on transparency of AI-generated content is expected to become the practical benchmark regulators and courts look to. Even though it is voluntary, aligning to it is a low-cost way to show good faith — and it maps closely to what a clean provenance record already captures.

A short checklist before 2 December 2026

  • Know your role on each release — provider, deployer, or both.
  • Record which parts of each track are AI and which are human, per component.
  • Capture the AI tool used for each AI part, and whether the provider marked its output.
  • Flag any content that resembles a real person and prepare the 50(4) disclosure.
  • Carry the disclosure into your distribution metadata (DDEX) and keep a dated record.
  • Generate a free transparency record above and keep it with the release.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Article 50 tool free?

Yes. It is free to use — document your AI use and generate an AI Music Transparency & Provenance Record at no cost, with no paywall or per-record fee. You sign in with Google so your records are saved to your account and easy to find again.

Did the Digital Omnibus delay EU AI Act Article 50?

As we read the current text, no: Article 50's transparency obligations still apply from 2 August 2026. Regulatory detail moves fast — verify against a primary source before relying on this.

When must AI-generated audio be marked under Article 50?

Article 50(2) requires providers of generative AI to mark synthetic output in a machine-readable way. Our understanding is that providers whose systems were on the EU market before 2 August 2026 have until 2 December 2026 to implement it.

Am I a provider or a deployer?

The provider makes or places the AI system on the market (an AI music generator); the deployer uses it under its own authority (a label or artist releasing the output). Many music businesses are deployers, with disclosure duties under Article 50(4).

Is a consented voice adaptation a deepfake under Article 50(4)?

Article 50(4) addresses AI content resembling real people. A consented adaptation by the original artist is a distinct case; as we read it disclosure may still apply, but editorial-control and artistic-context factors matter. This is our reading, not legal advice.

What are the penalties for a transparency breach?

For Article 50 transparency breaches, penalties can reach EUR 15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher, under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.

{{ io.label }}

Article 50 disclosure does not replace permission to use a person's voice or likeness.
Deepfake assessment — Article 50(4)

A deepfake requires all three (AI Act Art 3(60) + Commission Guidelines):

2. Identifiable to the audience{{ dfCritIdentifiable }}
3. Would seem authentic to a listener{{ dfCritAuthenticity }}

{{ assessDetail }}

This notice must be perceivable to listeners at first exposure — a visible or audible label. A provenance watermark or metadata alone does not satisfy Article 50(4).

Music is usually an artistic work: the artistic exemption may shape how the notice appears, but does not remove the disclosure duty.
