Tick one or more tasks, then say whether a journalist has reviewed the text. With no task ticked, the disclosure stays general.
Suggested disclosure
Transcription for this text was carried out with the help of artificial intelligence tools, under the control of the newsroom, which holds editorial responsibility for the text.
With this review and this editorial responsibility, Article 50 does not require a disclosure. You can still publish it, to be transparent with your readers.
This tool is for information only. It does not replace legal advice. Reference text: Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 50.
What Article 50 says
Article 50 of the AI Act has applied since 2 August 2026. It requires disclosure that a text published to inform the public on a matter of public interest was generated or manipulated by AI.
The obligation does not apply if two conditions are met. The text has undergone human review or editorial control. A natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility for its publication.
What counts as human review
The European Commission’s guidelines, approved in July 2026, clarify the notion. They are not binding. The review covers the substance of the text and is carried out by a competent person. At a minimum, it includes fact-checking.
A spelling correction is not enough. An editorial charter without real oversight is not enough. Nor is an automated or cursory approval. If the AI changes the text after approval, the exception no longer applies.
What Verbatim does
In Verbatim, AI agents work on your projects. They search, read, check and write in your style.
Verbatim records the origin of every line: you, the AI or a source. You know what the AI did in each text and where each fact comes from. The record is ready when the AI Act requires it.
