Article 50 (transparency obligations)
Obligations on AI systems interacting with natural persons and generating synthetic content to disclose the AI nature or label the content; applicable from 2 August 2026, the date unchanged by the agreed Omnibus. Article 50(1) (disclosure that a system is AI to a natural person interacting with it) remains at 2 August 2026 with no grace period. Article 50(2) (synthetic-content marking obligation) carries a grace period under the agreed Omnibus for systems already on the market, requiring compliance by 2 December 2026.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in EU AI Act Implementation Expert.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; Regulation (EU) 2026/1744; OMB M-25-21 and M-25-22; Colorado SB 24-205.
One interview question about it
Classify a specific AI system under the EU AI Act and name the obligations that follow, including what applies now and what is deferred.
Asked of candidates for eu ai act obligations and timelines. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- A law degree (JD, LLB or LLM), no AI work yet carries it as a claim to back up: The EU AI Act reads like the statutes you were trained on; the content is new, the method is not.
- Policy, legislative and government affairs staff carries it as a claim to back up: You follow federal and state developments already.
- A public policy, political science or international relations degree carries it as a claim to back up: US federal and state process is familiar; the AI statutes are new.
