Making AI-generated content identifiable across Europe

Standard symbol ยท Verifiable metadata ยท Mandatory display on platforms

Visible symbol

A standardised visual marker, recognisable across Europe, applied to all AI-generated content.

Standardised metadata

Signed, verifiable provenance data embedded in the file using an open and sovereign standard.

Mandatory display

Platforms are legally required to display and preserve these markers, without exception.

Why this is urgent

Deepfakes are multiplying at an unprecedented pace. Detection tools are insufficient and always lag behind generative models. Without legal obligation, platforms can strip or ignore provenance markers. We need a binding standard, not a mere recommendation.

See the full problem
We do not judge AI. We simply ask that AI-generated content be identifiable as such.

How does it work?

1. Creation

The AI tool generates the content and automatically embeds a marker and signed metadata.

2. Publication

The platform preserves the metadata and displays the AI marker visibly to all users.

3. Verification

Anyone can verify the origin of a video via the platform's public API or a third-party tool.
