There's a new EU rule requiring AI-generated content to carry visible or machine-readable labels, and it went into effect August 2nd. The intent is solid. Nobody wants to be tricked into thinking a deepfake is real. But the rollout is catching a lot of small businesses off guard.
Design tools like Canva and Adobe have AI features built into everyday workflows now, and a single AI-assisted edit can get an entire post flagged, even when a real person designed it. On the text side, Claude just started embedding invisible watermarks into everything it writes, and that mark sticks around even after you copy and paste it somewhere else.
We use Canva every day, same as most agencies and small businesses. But every caption, carousel, and ad we put out gets written or edited by an actual person on our team before it goes live. That's always been the standard here, and it just got a lot more relevant.
If you've been wondering how much of your content is actually getting a human review before it posts, now's a good time to find out.
