CleverChain has become one of roughly 190 organisations to sign the European Commission’s Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content, a voluntary framework aimed at bringing consistency to how artificial intelligence output is labelled and tracked across the bloc.
The inaugural list of signatories spans sectors including technology, telecommunications, education and retail, mixing multinational names with newer market entrants, a spread the Commission points to as evidence of broad appetite for shared transparency standards as generative AI adoption accelerates.
Within that group, CleverChain sits among 82 organisations that have committed to Section 1 of the Code, a cohort that also counts Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral and OpenAI among its members. CleverChain appears to be the sole anti-financial crime, KYC/KYB and due-diligence RegTech represented in this first wave of Section 1 signatories.
Section 1 centres on ensuring AI-generated or altered content carries machine-readable markers that can be detected as it passes between platforms and organisations, preserving a traceable record of where the content originated. The Code itself was built by independent experts and reviewed by both the Commission and the European AI Board, with the stated aim of giving companies a clearer, more predictable path to satisfying the transparency requirements set out under the EU AI Act.
For firms operating in regulated environments, this kind of provenance tracking carries particular weight. Material generated by AI systems can end up downloaded, redistributed, folded into reports or fed into due-diligence and risk-assessment workflows, making it essential that its source remains identifiable and can be explained if challenged.
As a RegTech focused on anti-financial crime and due-diligence work, CleverChain’s core business depends on institutions being able to trust and verify the information underpinning their compliance decisions, a link that connects directly to why the company chose to back the Code’s transparency aims.
By putting its name alongside major AI developers, CleverChain is throwing its weight behind common standards intended to build public confidence, cut the risk of AI-driven deception and tighten accountability across the sector.
Signatories, including CleverChain, will also be able to join Commission-led task forces set up to exchange practical experience, feed back on how transparency measures are working, and help shape the Code’s rollout going forward.
