AI disclosure

Communicating that AI was used or that someone is interacting with an AI system.

Example

A service labels a support assistant as automated.

Why people use it

It helps people understand when AI contributed to what they are seeing or hearing.

What you'll hear

“We should say that this image was made with AI.”

What this means for you

Make disclosures understandable and appropriate to the actual use.

Can you control it?

Yes

Yes. You can say when you have used AI and explain its role. An organization can also set rules for when that information must be shared.

Common questions

Does saying AI was used make the work reliable?
No. The label tells you about its creation; it does not check the facts or permissions involved.
Does a label mean the content is false?
No. AI involvement and factual accuracy are separate questions.
Is one label always enough?
Not necessarily. People may need to know which parts were generated or what role AI played.
