high-impact
Article 21 requires users to be informed when goods, works, or services are produced or provided using AI. Distribution of a synthetic result is allowed only with a machine-readable mark and a perceptible visual or other warning. Article 1(4) limits a synthetic result to AI-created or AI-altered image, video, audio, text, or a combination that imitates a natural person's appearance, voice, or behaviour, or events that did not occur; it does not cover every generated output. Penalties qualification: Article 30 states that violations incur liability established by the laws of Kazakhstan. The AI Act itself does not set a labeling-specific MCI fine.
