RTL Deutschland is airing reprocessed episodes of courtroom format "Ulrich Wetzel - Das Strafgericht" with AI-generated alterations including changed storylines, modified character relationships and a composited defendant, but without any disclosure in the linear broadcast. A note appears only in the RTL+ streaming credits. Germany's media regulator NLM says on-air disclosure "would be appropriate" under the definition of the AI Act, while RTL argues fictional content qualifies for exceptions. The experiment raises questions about how broadcasters will handle AI Act transparency requirements.
