How this score was derived

Methodology →

Scores 5/10: AI video generation with realistic output triggers Article 50(4) labeling obligations when distributed publicly in the EU. No EU Declaration of Conformity published as of the index date. Score of 5 reflects the conditional nature of the obligation — clearly artificial or heavily stylized outputs carry lower Article 50 burden than photorealistic AI-generated video deployed in news, advertising, or social media.
