Do I legally have to disclose AI-generated content?

It depends on the context. The EU AI Act requires labelling of AI-generated or manipulated media, and many platforms and journals mandate disclosure. Even where it is not strictly required, transparency protects your credibility and reduces the risk of a policy violation.

How is academic disclosure different?

Academic publishers such as those following ICMJE and COPE guidance require an explicit AI-use declaration, forbid listing AI as an author, and place full responsibility for the work on the human author. The generated academic statement reflects all three rules.

Does disclosing AI hurt my SEO or reach?

Search engines reward helpful, transparent content rather than penalising AI use itself. A clear disclosure plus genuine human review supports trust signals like E-E-A-T, which generally helps rather than harms.

What counts as fully AI-generated versus AI-assisted?

Fully AI-generated means the model produced the content with minimal human change. AI-assisted means you directed the work and the AI drafted parts. AI draft, human edited means the model produced a first pass that a person meaningfully revised. Pick the one that honestly describes your process.

Does this tool send my content anywhere?

No. It only assembles a short disclosure statement locally in your browser from your platform and involvement choices. Your actual content is never entered or transmitted.

AI Content Authenticity Disclosure Generator

AI content authenticity disclosure generator

Transparency about AI involvement is becoming both a legal expectation and a trust signal. The catch is that every platform wants it phrased differently — a news outlet expects an editor’s note, an academic journal demands a formal declaration that bars AI authorship, YouTube wants a synthetic-content label, and a tweet just needs a short tag. This generator produces the right wording for the platform you are publishing on.

How it works

You pick the platform, set your AI involvement level — fully AI-generated, AI-assisted, or an AI draft you edited — and optionally name the tool you used. The generator returns a statement formatted to that platform’s conventions and shows a short note on the underlying expectation, such as the EU AI Act labelling duty for synthetic media or the ICMJE rule that AI cannot be credited as an author. Copy the statement straight into your post.

Tips and notes

Match the level to reality. Calling heavily AI-written copy merely “assisted” undermines the whole point of disclosure — be accurate.
Academic work is the strictest. Declare the tool, keep human responsibility explicit, and never list the model as an author.
Label synthetic media, not just text. AI-generated images, voice, and video carry stronger labelling obligations than written text under most platform policies and the EU AI Act.
