Identify an AI agent in a shared team channel

When to use this guide

An agent posts under a teammate-like profile and its AI description is visible only to workspace administrators.

This is a fictional implementation scenario. The procedure below is Article 50 Hub's suggested working method, not a prescribed legal form, a customer result or a claim that every step is an additional statutory requirement.

Review procedure

1. Review the participant name, profile and visible identity cues for ordinary channel members.

2. Test a new member's first encounter with a direct or threaded exchange.

3. Inspect forwarded or quoted messages for loss of relevant attribution.

4. Record channel-specific configuration and any platform limitations.

What the example review finds

• Ordinary members cannot see the AI identity setting.

• A forwarded reply looks like a human colleague's statement.

Keep these example observations separate from your own results. An unknown or untested state should stay open until the relevant evidence has been inspected.

Fields for your working record

• Channel surface

• Member role

• Participant label

• Forwarded attribution

• Configuration

Use the downloadable blank worksheet linked on this page to connect the observed behavior with the deployed system. Add a reviewer, date, evidence reference, unresolved questions and a next action. The worksheet is editable locally and does not upload your records to Article 50 Hub.

Completion and handoff

Close the task only for the scope actually reviewed. Preserve the result that another authorized reviewer can reproduce, identify the owner of remaining work, and record a retest when the implementation changes. A completed worksheet is not a substitute for the underlying evidence.

Decision boundary

Channel membership does not by itself establish awareness of an automated participant or authorize unsolicited messages.

The official references below provide legal or technical context. Resolve applicability and exception questions with the responsible qualified reviewer; use the product's tools to organize implementation work within that assessment.
