Google and OpenAI Agree on Unified AI Content Labeling Standards (heise.de)

• Google and OpenAI agree on unified AI labeling using C2PA standard
• Labeling covers text, images, audio, and video
• EU AI Act mandates transparency — companies act preemptively

"Google and OpenAI have announced that they will use the same watermark and metadata standards to label AI-generated content. This represents a significant step toward transparency and trust in digital content. The companies follow the C2PA standard (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity). Such unified labeling could become mandatory under upcoming regulations. The move comes ahead of the enforcement of the EU AI Act and shows that big tech is responding to stricter requirements."
