Realistic AI architectural renderings must be labelled under EU AI Act
Under the EU AI Act, realistic architectural renderings generated by AI must be clearly labelled as such. The rule applies to visual content that could be mistaken for real buildings or spaces.
Why this matters: This sounds niche but the logic reaches far. Architects, developers, and property marketers routinely use renderings to sell projects that do not exist yet. AI makes those images far more convincing. Without a label, a buyer or planning board has no way to know whether what they are looking at is a real photograph, a human-made illustration, or a machine-generated image built to persuade. Labelling does not kill the tool. It just means people know what they are actually looking at.
