Choose a template or record AI use systematically by content component. The preview, embed code and machine-readable declaration are generated immediately.

1. Content and AI use

Declaration type

Preset Component AI contribution Human review Record only the review process that actually took place. A merely formal check (for example spelling or grammar) is not substantive human review or editorial control for the purposes of Article 50(4) AI Act. Activities Comma-separated standard values such as research, summarisation or translation.

2. Article 50 scope check

The following questions are shown only where they fit the selected content. They support a cautious self-assessment and do not constitute legal advice.

Your role under the AI Act Required for this assessment

Article 50 assigns different duties to providers and deployers. This generator mainly documents publication-side disclosures; provider-side machine marking is separate. Article 50(2) also contains a limited exception for standard editing assistance or outputs that do not substantially alter the deployer's input data or semantics.

Use context Required for this assessment

A person using AI only for a personal, non-professional activity is generally not a deployer under the AI Act. Economic, business, occupational or freelance use can be professional.

Possible legal consequences

From 2 August 2026, infringements of Article 50 are within the Article 99(4) penalty framework: administrative fines may reach EUR 15 million or, for an undertaking, 3% of total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year (subject to the AI Act’s SME rule and the circumstances of the individual case). The competent authority determines whether an infringement exists and any measure or fine.

Decision aid, not legal advice: the result is based only on the supplied facts and the current Article 50 text / Commission guidance. Borderline cases require an individual legal assessment.

3. Publication and accountability

These fields are separated from Article 50 requirements. They improve traceability without implying that every publication is legally required to provide them.

URL of the labelled content Optional

4. Output

Output language Appearance Evidence basis The information is based on a declaration made by the publishing person or organisation.

A stated review level is a self-declaration of the process that actually took place. By itself it does not establish an exemption from a labelling duty under Article 50(4) AI Act; the statutory conditions, including substantive human review or editorial control and editorial responsibility, must actually be met.

Article 50 placement: Where disclosure is legally required, the visible notice must be clear and distinguishable no later than first exposure to the affected content. A badge shown only in a footer or behind a later link may be too late. For deepfake media, the notice should be attached directly to the content or provided through an equivalent overlay; the Code of Practice additionally provides for visibility when content is reshared or downloaded for its signatories.

Machine readability: This JSON-LD supplements documentation but does not automatically satisfy the provider-side technical marking duty under Article 50(2) AI Act.

Emoji variant: The square emoji is a compact supplement and is not an official EU labelling icon. Where a legal disclosure is required, do not rely on it without immediately understandable text or an equivalently clear disclosure.
