Place an AI notice before the first message

When to use this guide

A support widget accepts a question immediately, then reveals its AI identity only inside the generated reply.

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. Map the first interactive state reached from each public entry point.

2. Place clear identity wording before the input or initial AI exchange in that state.

3. Open a fresh session and verify the notice is present before a message can be sent.

4. Save the release, route, locale and evidence showing the order of events.

What the example review finds

• The notice appears only after a user has already interacted.

• The footer link does not explain the identity at the point of use.

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

• Entry route

• Notice wording

• First interactive state

• Build reference

• Timing evidence

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

This procedure tests notice timing; it does not decide whether an exception applies or establish overall compliance.

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.
