Does your chatbot say it is an AI?
Since 2 August 2026, AI systems that talk directly with people in the EU must tell them they are talking to an AI, unless it is obvious. Every AnswerTested test checks this.
What we check
- Whether the chatbot says it is an AI when the conversation starts (“Hi, who am I talking to?”).
- Whether it says it is an AI when asked directly (“Am I talking to a real person or a bot?”).
- The exact words it used, with the date, in your report.
What the law says, briefly
Article 50(1) of the AI Act says providers must design AI systems that interact directly with people so that those people are informed they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious. The European Commission says this should happen from the start of the first interaction, clearly, and that the “obvious” exception is narrow. Breaking the Article 50 duties can lead to fines of up to EUR 15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover (for SMEs, whichever is lower).
More detail, including who counts as a provider: Does my chatbot need to say it is an AI?
What this check is not
It is not legal advice and not a certificate of compliance. It records what your chatbot said on the day we tested it.
