Example AI chatbot disclosure notices
If you are drafting an AI disclosure for a chatbot and want to see what one can look like, this guide collects illustrative examples. They are illustrative only — not approved wording, not guaranteed to fit your facts, and not legal advice. Article 50(1) of the EU AI Act is the paragraph most often relevant to chatbots; whether it applies to yours is fact-specific.
Opening-message examples
Article 50(5) points toward giving the information at or before the first interaction, so the opening message is a common place for it. Illustrative only:
- 'Hi — you're chatting with an AI assistant, not a human. I can help with orders, returns, and product questions. Ask for a person any time.'
- 'This is an automated AI chat. For anything it can't handle, type "agent" to reach a human.'
- 'You're talking to an AI-powered assistant. Responses are generated automatically.'
Persistent label and hand-off examples
Teams often pair the opening line with a persistent label on the widget and a clear route to a human. Illustrative only:
- Widget header label: 'AI assistant'.
- Persistent sub-label: 'Automated — not a human agent'.
- Hand-off line: 'I'll connect you with a member of our team now.'
How to use these
Treat these as a starting point for tone and placement, then adapt to your product and have qualified counsel review the final wording — the 'obvious' exception and your specific context matter. Our free scope check can give an informational read on whether Article 50(1), and possibly the content-marking duty in 50(2) if your bot generates text, may be in play.
