AI Disclosure for WordPress

Tell visitors when they are talking to an AI. Article 50 of the EU AI Act, applicable since 2 August 2026, requires that people interacting with an AI system are informed of it, unless it is obvious from the context. Most chat widgets and AI-assisted forms on WordPress sites say nothing. This plugin fixes that in two minutes and keeps a count of impressions for your records.

What it does

  • Auto-detects 17 chat and assistant widgets (Intercom, Crisp, Tidio, Drift, HubSpot, Zendesk, tawk.to, Freshchat, LiveChat, Brevo, Chatbase, Voiceflow, Botpress, Dialogflow, WPBot, AI Engine, Kognetiks) from their loader scripts, server-side and in the DOM, and shows the notice only on pages where one is present.
  • Your own selectors: add #my-assistant or form.ai-generated and the notice appears wherever they match.
  • Three placements: bottom banner, top banner, or inline right before the widget.
  • Block and shortcode ([ai_disclosure]) for AI-generated content sections and custom chat UIs.
  • Default wording in 6 languages (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, NL) following the site locale, fully editable.
  • Audit trail: a daily impression counter (no personal data, no cookies) with CSV export, so you can show that the notice was displayed.
  • Accessible: role="note", aria-live="polite", keyboard-dismissible, respects reduced motion and dark mode.
  • Cache-friendly: the counter uses sendBeacon without a nonce, so full-page caches keep working.

Install

Until the plugin is on wordpress.org: download the latest release zip from the Releases page and upload it in Plugins → Add New → Upload. Then go to Settings → AI Disclosure.

Requires WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.0+.

Settings

Setting Meaning
When to show Automatically (detected widget or selector), On every page, or Only where the block/shortcode is placed
Notice text Empty = locale default. Keep it short; it must be read before the first message
Position Bottom banner, top banner, inline
Dismissible Lets visitors close the banner for the browser session
Learn more link Optional link to your AI policy page
Detected widgets Untick vendors you do not want to trigger the notice
Extra CSS selectors One per line
Audit trail Daily counts + CSV export

Shortcode and block

[ai_disclosure]
[ai_disclosure text="This summary was generated by AI and reviewed by our team." position="inline"]

The AI Disclosure block (Widgets category) renders the same notice with an editable text.

Development

composer install
composer check      # phpcs (WordPress Coding Standards) + phpunit (Brain Monkey, no WordPress needed)

The logic that matters (widget detection, notice rendering and escaping, settings sanitisation, the counter) is pure PHP and unit-tested without a WordPress install.

This plugin helps you display a transparency notice. Whether your use case falls under article 50, and the exact wording you need, is a question for your counsel. The default text is deliberately conservative.
