**TrustOriginality.ai** | June 2026

## Total addressable market (directional)

| Segment | Driver | Our entry |
|---------|--------|-----------|
| Content moderation & trust & safety | Synthetic media at scale | Multi-modal API + publish gate |
| RegTech / AI governance | EU AI Act, DSA, sector rules | Compliance Pack + audit artifacts |
| EdTech integrity | Academic AI misuse | LTI + institutional reports |
| InsurTech / FinTech KYC | Deepfake identity fraud | NeuroKYC, document + selfie checks |
| Public sector & defense | Data sovereignty | Sovereign Box, KVKK/GDPR flows |

Global spend on content moderation, fraud prevention, and AI governance is growing double-digit; EU regulation creates a **deadline-driven** budget cycle through 2026–2027.

## EU AI Act — Article 50 timeline

| Date | Obligation |
|------|------------|
| **2 August 2026** | New AI systems: mark AI-generated content; disclose deepfakes to the public |
| **2 December 2026** | Existing systems: same obligations after transition |
