Your chatbot now has to
say that it is one.
Article 50 of the EU AI Act is in enforcement. Any system that converses with an EU user has to disclose that it is a machine, in a form both a person and a machine can read. Most deployed assistants were shipped before that was true, and nobody has been back to check.
Request the checkEach Article 50 duty checked against what your system actually does in production, not what the spec says.
Screenshots, response captures and machine-readable markup, in a form you can hand to counsel or an auditor.
What has to change, in what order, and what each fix takes to implement.
Why this, why now
The obligation is live and the systems predate it.
Disclosure is not a banner in your terms of service. Article 50 asks for a person to be told they are talking to a machine at the point of interaction, for synthetic output to be marked in a machine-readable way, and for that to hold across every surface the system is exposed on. A chatbot deployed in 2024 almost certainly does none of it, and reaching one EU user is enough to be in scope.
EU AI Act Article 50 enforcement has begun — conversational systems must now carry machine-readable AI disclosure.

Four obligations, tested against the running system.
We interact with your assistant the way a regulator would, and record what it does rather than what it is supposed to do.
Disclosure at the point of contact
Whether a first-time user is told they are talking to an AI system before they disclose anything, on every entry point — web, in-app, WhatsApp, voice.
Machine-readable marking
Whether generated output carries the markup and metadata that make it detectable as synthetic downstream.
Logging and audit trail
Whether you could reconstruct a given conversation on request, and for how long — including what a deletion request actually removes.
Risk classification
Where the system sits in the Act’s tiers, and whether anything it does quietly pushes it into a higher one.
Request the check
One chatbot, ten working days.
We confirm scope, access and the fixed fee for this system.
The evidence pack arrives: pass/fail per obligation, captures, and a costed fix list.
Remediate in-house with the list, or ask us to quote it. No retainer attached.
