Publication lifecycle

AI content review: the publication decision, with its evidence.

Marketing teams make and change content with AI. Before it goes out, somebody has to say what was generated or changed, which disclosure applies, what evidence is missing and who approved that exact version. cmpliance turns that decision into a workflow: agents prepare it, your reviewer makes it, and the record keeps the version, the evidence and the rule it rests on.

Key takeawaysPublication lifecycle
  1. Three rulebooks apply to one asset: the law, the platform's rules and your own policy. They don't agree, and the record has to say which one drove the decision.
  2. A label is the visible part. The defensible part is the record: the version, the evidence, the rule and the person who signed off.
  3. We don't detect whether something was made by AI. We work from what was declared and what can be shown.

The review

What should a content review establish?

Before a campaign asset is published, the reviewer needs five answers.

The rules

Three rulebooks, one asset

Under Article 50 of the EU AI Act, in force since 2 August 2026, a company that publishes AI-generated or manipulated content must disclose deep fakes, and AI-written text on matters of public interest unless a person reviewed it and holds editorial responsibility.

The law

Article 50 of the EU AI Act

The platform’s rules

The platforms add their own rules, and they differ.

Your own policy

Your policy may go further than both.

The review keeps the three apart and names the one that applies.

The record

A label is not the record

Content Credentials can show how a file was made and whether it changed since. They cannot show that a claim is true, or that you may use a person's likeness. A visible label can be right and still leave the question of who decided, on what evidence, unanswered. The record answers it.

A label is the visible part.

Common questions

Does cmpliance detect AI-generated content?

No. The review works from the declared creation history and the evidence that can be shown. Absence of metadata proves nothing on its own.

Does the tool approve content?

No. Agents prepare the assessment. A person accepts it, rejects it or asks for more evidence, and the reason is recorded.

Which content is covered?

Text and still images for marketing content distributed in the EU.
