The Content Provenance Readiness Checklist

 

Eight steps to prepare your image operations for the EU AI Act and California’s AI Transparency Act — both effective August 2, 2026.

On August 2, 2026, two regulations built around content provenance take effect on the same day. The duties land on AI providers and large platforms, and the pressure runs back through every system that touches an image — your DAM, your CMS, your CDN. Those are the systems most likely to strip the provenance data the laws now depend on.

This one-page checklist distills what an image-heavy organization actually needs to do, in order of priority: where to look, what to fix first, and how to keep content credentials intact from capture to publication.

What’s inside:

  • Inventory and classify your library by origin
  • Preserve provenance across the pipeline
  • Label what you generate
  • Standardize on C2PA Content Credentials
  • Build provenance into capture and commissions
  • Triage legacy and unknown-origin assets
  • Lock it into contracts and vendor selection
  • Assign ownership and governance
