Thursday 13 Aug, 12pm Webinar | New EU AI Law – What It Means for You

Posted in News, on August 4, 2026

A new EU law on AI introduces a requirement to label some AI content.

We have invited Antonia Gold, a partner specialising in media at the law firm Sheridans to explain the new law and what you need to do if you are creating content that will appear anywhere in the EU.

The EU AI Act introduces new transparency requirements for AI content, including rules on labelling deepfakes.

But what do these obligations mean in practice for APA members?

The deepfake labelling obligation is a lot broader than the popular understanding of a deepfake, extending beyond fake videos of public figures, to a range of visual and audio content. As with most EU digital regulations, it applies beyond Europe, which means businesses that are based outside the EU could also be caught if their content is distributed within the EU.

Join this practical 20-minute webinar to understand when deepfake labelling is required, who the rules apply to, and how production teams can prepare.

If you are creating content using AI, this is for you. We’ll cut through the legal jargon and provide practical guidance on navigating the new law.
