Description
Since August 2, 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires websites to tell visitors when they are interacting with an AI system, and to label AI-generated or AI-manipulated images that could appear authentic. Fines can reach €15M or 3% of worldwide turnover.
This plugin handles the two obligations most WordPress sites actually have:
1. Chatbot disclosure (Art. 50(1))
- Detects AI chatbots automatically — plugin-based (AI Engine, MxChat, Kognetiks) and embedded widgets (Tidio, Chatbase, Intercom, Crisp, HubSpot, Tawk.to, LiveChat, Botpress, Voiceflow)
- Attaches a clear, accessible “You are interacting with an AI chatbot” notice directly to the chat window — at first interaction, as the Commission’s July 2026 guidance expects, not buried in your terms
- Deep AI Engine integration: the disclosure also becomes part of the bot’s own greeting
- Custom CSS selectors for widgets we don’t know yet
- Fully translatable disclosure text (English, Polish, German included)
2. AI image labels (Art. 50(4))
- Auto-detects AI-generated images on upload by reading C2PA manifests, IPTC digitalSourceType and generator metadata (DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Firefly and others)
- One checkbox in the Media Library to flag or unflag any image manually
- Visible badge on labeled images (corner badge or full-width bar)
- Machine-readable markup: schema.org ImageObject JSON-LD with IPTC digitalSourceType, plus data attributes

FAQ
-
Does this plugin make my site compliant with the EU AI Act?
-
It implements the practical transparency measures for the two Article 50 duties that most commonly apply to websites: chatbot disclosure and AI image labeling. Whether you are fully compliant depends on how you use AI overall. When in doubt, consult a lawyer — this plugin is a tool, not legal advice.
-
My chatbot is not detected. What do I do?
-
Add its container’s CSS selector under Settings AI Disclosure Custom CSS selectors (one per line). Please also open a support thread and tell us which chatbot you use — we add popular ones to auto-detection.
-
Does it work with AI-generated text too?
-
The Act’s text-labeling duty (Art. 50(4)) only covers AI text published to inform the public on matters of public interest, and it does not apply where a human editor takes responsibility. Product descriptions and ordinary marketing copy are out of scope. A documented editorial-review workflow feature is on our roadmap.
-
Does the plugin phone home?
-
No. It makes no external requests, sets no cookies, and collects no data.
