EU AI Act · Mandatory labeling enforcement: Aug 2, 2026

Your readers can't tell if your video is real. Neither can you.

Deepfake video volume grew 900% last year. The EU AI Act now requires publishers to label AI-generated content — or face fines up to €15M. Verigin verifies origin across text, images, and video in one integration. 3-week setup. Zero engineering lift.
