EU AI Act Article 50
C2PA, Content Credentials and EU AI Act Article 50
C2PA Content Credentials are the gold standard of machine-readable marking. isGenAI validates them locally, reads every recorded action and tells you exactly what a valid signature proves.
The obligation
What the law requires
Content Credentials embed a signed manifest that records who signed an asset and which actions produced it, including AI generation. That makes them a direct fit for the Article 50(2) requirement that generated output be marked in a machine-readable format and remain detectable.
The evidence
What proves it
isGenAI reports cryptographic validation and signer trust as separate facts. A valid signature proves the signed record is intact; signer trust tells you whether to rely on the claims inside it. Both appear on the scorecard with the manifest labels and validation codes.
Official source text, public technical observations, vendor-submitted evidence and external inference are always kept apart. A missing public signal is recorded as NOT OBSERVED, a technical fact, never as a legal finding.

Observations from public scorecards
0 published observations for this topic under isgenai-methodology-2026-08-16.v1, each a dated technical observation with linked evidence. Legal applicability stays with counsel.
Observations publish the moment they clear the evidence gate. Output marking is verified on generated artifacts and disclosure inside the real user workflow, never from a marketing page alone.
