ARTICLE 50 · IN FORCE AUG 2, 2026

Every site that uses AI
now has to say so.

If your site runs a chatbot or publishes AI content without disclosing it, the EU AI Act exposes you to fines up to €15M or 3% of global revenue. Act50 scans, flags every gap, and fixes it in one line.

The obligation

Four things Article 50 makes mandatory

Not just for AI companies — for any business that deploys AI on a public site. Most sites we scan fail at least two.

Art. 50 §1

Chatbots must reveal they're AI

Any assistant that talks to people has to tell them it's an AI system — clearly, at the first message.

Art. 50 §2

AI content must be marked

AI-generated text, image, audio or video must carry a machine-readable, detectable mark.

Art. 50 §4

Deepfakes & public text disclosed

AI media and AI text that informs the public must be labelled — unless a human held editorial control.

Art. 50 §5

Clear, upfront, accessible

The disclosure has to be distinguishable, shown at first interaction, and meet accessibility rules.

How it works

Compliant in three steps

No legal team, no audit project. A scan, a report, and one line of script.

1

Scan

Enter any URL. A real headless browser detects your chatbot and checks it against each Article 50 disclosure duty.

2

See the gaps

A plain report, per page, cited to the exact article — what's missing and why. Re-scanned every week.

3

Fix in one line

Drop in <script src="act50.eu">. Disclosures and machine-readable marks are added automatically.

Coverage

What the scan finds — and what the fix covers

Straight about scope: the scan reliably catches chatbot gaps. The one-line widget then makes you compliant across §1, §2 and §5.

The scan detects
Chatbot & missing AI disclosureDetects your chat widget and whether it declares it's AI (§1, §5)
Missing content-provenance marksChecks for C2PA / machine-readable AI markers (§2)
The one-line widget adds
The AI-disclosure noticeAccessible, at first interaction (§1, §5)
A machine-readable AI mark, site-wideMarks the site as AI-using (§2)
We don't claim to detect AI-written text or deepfakes — no tool reliably can, and a false accusation is worse than none. Instead of guessing which words are AI, the widget marks your site as AI-using — which is exactly what Article 50 asks for.
Pricing

Pay once to get compliant

One payment fixes it — no subscription trap. Add monitoring only if you want ongoing cover as your site, and the law, keep changing.

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this legal advice? +

No. Act50 checks your site against the text of Article 50 and links every finding to the law. For formal legal sign-off, talk to a lawyer — Act50 does the detection and the fix.

Do I have to be an AI company? +

No — and that's the point most people miss. Article 50 binds deployers: any business that uses AI on a public-facing site. Have a chatbot or publish AI content? You're in scope.

What if a human reviewed the content? +

Then §4 gives you an editorial exemption for published text — but you have to be able to show it. Act50 keeps the human-review log that proves the carve-out.

Does it work with my chatbot? +

Yes. Act50 is platform-agnostic — Intercom, Tidio, Drift, Landbot, Voiceflow, custom widgets. The scan detects them; the fix works alongside them.

When exactly is the deadline? +

2 August 2026. The transparency obligations of Article 50 become binding on that date across the EU.
