August 2, 2026: Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires every website using AI to disclose it to visitors.
If your site uses chatbots, content generators, translation tools, or AI-powered analytics, you have a legal obligation to inform your visitors. Non-compliance carries fines up to €15 million or 3% of global turnover.
Klarvo AI Transparency handles this for you:
- Detects AI tools automatically — scans your active plugins against a registry of 1,800+ known AI tools across 20 categories
- Displays a compliance badge — a discreet, customisable notice that tells visitors which AI tools your site uses
- Scores unrecognised plugins — analyses plugins not in our registry and rates their AI likelihood (high/medium/low)
- Zero configuration — install, activate, done. No account needed for basic functionality
- Zero performance impact — 4.5KB script, async loaded, no cookies, no tracking, no personal data
The only WordPress plugin purpose-built for EU AI Act Article 50 compliance.
What gets detected?
Our registry covers 1,800+ AI-powered WordPress plugins across 20 categories:
- Interaction — Tidio, AI Engine, WPBot, Chatway, Smartsupp, Crisp, and 200+ more chatbot/assistant plugins
- Content generation — GetGenie, Starter Templates AI, Kadence AI, Kubio, and 300+ content AI tools
- Translation — LocoAI, TranslatePress AI, Weglot, and 50+ translation plugins
- SEO — Rank Math AI, Yoast AI, Squirrly SEO, and 100+ SEO tools with AI features
- Media — Alt Text AI, AI image generators, and 80+ media processing plugins

Plugins not in our registry are automatically scored for AI likelihood using keyword analysis of their name and description.

What is Article 50?
Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires transparency when AI interacts with people:
- Article 50(1): If visitors interact with an AI system (e.g., chatbot), they must be told
- Article 50(2): If content is AI-generated, it must be labelled
- Article 50(3): Deepfake content must be disclosed
- Article 50(4): AI-generated text on matters of public interest must be labelled
Enforcement begins August 2, 2026. This plugin helps you comply with all four sub-articles.

Do I need to create an account?
-
No. The plugin works immediately without any account or configuration. A free Klarvo account is optional and unlocks advanced features like KlarvoEngine analysis, custom branding, and analytics.
-
Does this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. The widget script is 4.5KB gzipped, loads asynchronously, and has zero impact on Core Web Vitals, page speed, or SEO rankings. It doesn’t use cookies or track visitors.
-
What if my AI plugin isn’t in your registry?
-
The plugin automatically analyses unrecognised plugins using keyword scoring and rates them as high/medium/low/none AI likelihood. Connected users can also run KlarvoEngine analysis for a detailed classification against the EU AI Act text.
-
Does this plugin handle the full EU AI Act?
-
This plugin specifically handles Article 50 transparency obligations — the requirement to disclose AI use to website visitors. For full EU AI Act compliance (risk classification, obligations, evidence packs, impact assessments), use the Klarvo SaaS platform at app.klarvo.io.
-
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?
-
Yes. The plugin does not collect, store, or process personal data. No cookies are set. No visitor tracking occurs. The widget script loads from Klarvo’s CDN but does not transmit any visitor information.
-
What happens after August 2, 2026?
-
Article 50 transparency obligations become legally enforceable. Websites that use AI tools without disclosing them to visitors may face fines of up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover. This plugin helps you comply before the deadline.
-
Can I customise the badge?
-
Free users can choose badge position (4 corners) and select from 8 brand colours. Pro users get full hex colour picker, custom disclosure text, and the option to remove Klarvo branding. Agency users get CSS injection for complete visual control.
