AI Act Whistleblower Tool

The AI Act Whistleblower Tool empowers individuals to securely submit a report and contribute directly to make AI in Europe safe transparent, and trustworthy.

Whistleblowers play a vital role in identifying potential violations of the law that could endanger fundamental rights, health, or public trust, and which might otherwise go undetected. By reporting potential violations, whistleblowers can support the AI Office in detecting them early on, thereby contributing to the safe and transparent development of AI technologies.

  • Legislation
The Commission’s proposal to simplify the AI Act implementation

As part of the digital omnibus package presented on 19 November 2025, the Commission has proposed to simplify existing rules on Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, and data.

Regarding the AI Act, the Commission proposes linking the entry into application of the rules governing high-risk AI systems to the availability of support tools, including the necessary standards.

The timeline for applying high-risk rules is adjusted to a maximum of 16 months, so the rules start applying once the Commission confirms the needed standards and support tools are available, giving companies support tools they need.

Code of Practice on marking and labelling AI-generated content

This Code of Practice will aim to support compliance with the AI Act transparency obligations related to marking and labelling of AI-generated content.

The obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act (transparency obligations for providers and deployers of generative AI systems) aim to ensure transparency of AI-generated or manipulated content, such as deep fakes. The article addresses risks of deception and manipulation, fostering the integrity of the information ecosystem. These transparency obligations will complement other rules like those for high-risk AI systems or general-purpose AI models.
