Description
The EU AI Act’s transparency obligations (Article 50) apply from 2 August 2026. This plugin helps website operators implement them — the core features work entirely locally, without any account:
Free Features (local, no account needed):
- AI Content Labels: Mark any post or page as “AI-generated” or “AI-assisted” in the editor. The plugin renders a visible label with the standardised EU AI pictogram (Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content, June 2026).
- Machine-Readable Metadata: Automatically adds Schema.org JSON-LD with the IPTC Digital Source Type (
trainedAlgorithmicMedia/compositeWithTrainedAlgorithmicMedia) to labeled posts. - Chatbot Disclosure (Art. 50(1)): Optional site-wide notice informing visitors that your site uses an AI chat assistant.
- Translation-ready (text domain
aiactify-compliance).
Optional: Connect the AIActify Platform
If you also want automation at scale, you can connect the AIActify platform (paid service with free trial). The connection adds:
- Automated content detection and a validation workflow across your whole site.
- Art. 5 Risk Detection: Detects scripts and network calls associated with prohibited AI practices (e.g., emotion recognition in prohibited contexts) and reports them to your dashboard. Blocking is opt-in per finding.
- Visual On-Site Editor: Classify texts and images with one click on your live website.
- Tamper-evident audit trail and PDF compliance reports.
Note: AIActify is a technical compliance tool and does not constitute legal advice.
External services
The free features of this plugin (AI content labels, EU pictogram, Schema.org/IPTC metadata and the chatbot disclosure notice) run entirely on your own server and do not connect to any external service.
The plugin only connects to an external service if you actively opt in by entering an AIActify Site ID (and optionally an API Key) on the settings page. This connection is required for the optional AIActify platform features (automated content detection, Art. 5 script monitoring, the Visual On-Site Editor and audit trails).
- Service: AIActify, a compliance platform operated by AIActify (https://aiactify.eu), reachable at
https://aiactify-backend.vercel.app. - What is sent and when: When the platform connection is enabled, your Site ID is sent on each front-end page load to load your site-specific compliance configuration and the
enforcer.jsscript. When you launch the Visual Editor from the admin, your API Key is sent once to authenticate the editor session. No website-visitor personal data is collected or sent. - Terms and privacy: Terms of Service: https://aiactify.eu/terms — Privacy Policy: https://aiactify.eu/privacy
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/aiactify-compliancedirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Open a post and set the “AI Content Label” in the editor sidebar — done.
- (Optional) Navigate to AIActify in the admin menu to enable the chatbot disclosure or connect your AIActify account (Site ID / API Key).
FAQ
-
Do I need an AIActify account?
-
No. The core features — AI content labels with the EU pictogram, machine-readable Schema.org/IPTC metadata, and the chatbot disclosure — work entirely locally without any account. An AIActify account (paid, with free trial) is only needed for the optional platform features: automated detection, validation workflow, Art. 5 monitoring and audit trails.
-
Does this slow down my website?
-
No. The AIActify compliance script is lightweight and operates entirely in the browser using optimized interception rules.
-
What does the plugin do on the frontend?
-
For locally labeled posts it renders a small badge with the EU AI pictogram and injects Schema.org JSON-LD — no external requests. Only if you connect the AIActify platform, it additionally loads
enforcer.jsfrom the AIActify service, which performs automated detection, renders disclosures, and reports Art.-5-relevant scripts to your dashboard (blocking is opt-in). -
Can I use the plugin without the Visual Editor?
-
Yes. The Visual Editor is an optional platform feature. Local labeling and the chatbot disclosure need neither a Site ID nor an API Key.
-
Is my data safe?
-
The free features send no data anywhere. With an active platform connection, only your Site ID and (optionally) your API Key are transmitted. No visitor data is collected or sent to AIActify servers; all checks happen client-side in the visitor’s browser.
