Article 50 has applied since 2 August 2026

Your chatbot has to tell people it’s an AI.

The EU AI Act now requires anyone running a customer-facing AI assistant to disclose it — clearly, at first interaction, in a language the person understands. EUDisclose is one script tag that does it properly, and keeps the evidence.

Free Article 50 disclosure check

We look for a chat or agent interface, then grade the disclosure against Article 50(1) and the Commission’s draft Guidelines. A human reviews every result before it goes out, so it lands in your inbox within a day — not instantly.

We use your address once, to send this report. No list, no sequence, no sharing.

What changed

Transparency is the part of the AI Act that touches nearly everyone.

Most of the AI Act is about high-risk systems, and most of those deadlines slipped to December 2027. Article 50 did not slip. It applies to any AI system that interacts with people or generates content — a support bot, a booking assistant, an AI voice line, a marketing image. Penalties reach €15 million or 3% of worldwide turnover.

A line in your T&Cs isn’t enough

The draft Guidelines say so explicitly. So is a faint footer label, or metadata with nothing a human can see. The notice has to be clear, distinguishable, and present at or before first interaction.

2

English-only is a weak position

Disclosure that the person can’t read isn’t disclosure. We ship all 24 official EU languages, with the localised label the Code of Practice points at — KI, IA, SI, ΤΝ.

You’ll be asked to prove it

Not on the day you install it — eighteen months later, by a regulator, an enterprise buyer’s security review, or a customer complaint. A screenshot from last year proves nothing.

How it works

One tag. Then it keeps working without you.

Point it at the element that wraps your chat UI. It handles the rest.

The part competitors skip

A one-off audit is a photograph. You need a recording.

Plenty of firms will sell you a €997 review and a PDF. That PDF describes your site on the day it was written. Then someone redeploys the widget, a translation regresses, a new landing page ships without the tag — and the PDF is fiction.

Continuous logging

Every notice shown, every acknowledgement, with locale, page, dwell time, and a digest of the exact wording that was displayed.

Drift alerts

We re-scan your domains weekly. If a page starts serving your chat widget without the disclosure layer, you hear about it that day.

Regulator-ready export

A dated PDF plus the raw event log for any period you choose. Hand it to a DPA, an auditor, or an enterprise procurement team.

Cheaper than one hour of the lawyer who’d otherwise write this.

Not legal advice. EUDisclose is tooling that implements the disclosure mechanics Article 50(1) describes and keeps a record of them. Whether your particular system falls in scope, whether an exception applies, and whether your wording is adequate for your audience are legal questions. We give you the implementation and the evidence; your counsel gives you the opinion.
Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Didn’t the EU delay all this?

The Digital Omnibus pushed most high-risk obligations to December 2027. Article 50 transparency was not part of that delay and has applied since 2 August 2026. Generative systems already on the market before that date got until 2 December 2026 for the machine-readable marking requirement in 50(2) specifically.

We’re not in the EU.

Article 50 follows the person, not the server. If your assistant talks to someone in the EU, you are in scope regardless of where you are incorporated.

Our chatbot is obviously a bot. Isn’t there an exception?

There is, for cases where AI involvement is obvious to a reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect person in your audience. The Guidelines set out a two-step test and it is narrower than most people assume — particularly as assistants get more fluent. It is a defence you argue after the fact, not a design decision.

Can’t our developer just add a banner?

Yes, in about two hours. The banner is the easy part. What takes longer is 24 languages, accessibility conformance, keeping it attached through every redeploy, and being able to demonstrate a year from now what a specific visitor in Lisbon actually saw in March.

What do you store?

Disclosure events only: timestamp, page path, locale, which notice variant appeared, dwell time, and a hash of the copy shown. No cookies, no message content, no IP retention, no cross-site identifiers. Data stays in the EU.

What if we already comply?

Then the scan grades you A or B and you don’t need us. We would rather tell you that than sell you something.
