Scan Webpages for AI Transparency
Automated technical audit for AI chatbots, C2PA synthetic media metadata, and mandatory Article 50 transparency notices.
Understanding Article 50 Transparency Requirements
Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 imposes strict technical & copy disclosure mandates on deployers and providers of artificial intelligence systems operating within the European Union.
Natural Person Interaction
Deployers of AI systems that interact directly with natural persons (such as chatbots, virtual assistants, or automated support tools) must inform users in a clear and timely manner that they are interacting with an AI system.
Synthetic Media Watermarking
Providers of AI systems generating synthetic audio, image, video, or text content must mark outputs in a machine-readable format (such as C2PA metadata, IPTC headers, or steganographic watermarks) and ensure content is identifiable as artificially generated.
Public Interest Text Notice
Deployers of AI systems generating or manipulating text published to inform the public on matters of public interest must explicitly disclose that the text was artificially generated or modified.

How does this scanner evaluate websites?
The tool executes three automated technical inspection steps: (1) Cheerio DOM scraping to identify third-party AI chatbot script embeds, (2) ExifReader binary inspection on page image assets to check for C2PA metadata manifests and EXIF tags, and (3) Google Gemini 2.5 Flash LLM analysis for structured Article 50 text disclosures.
What are the financial penalties for Article 50 non-compliance?
Infringements of Article 50 transparency obligations under the EU AI Act may subject organizations to administrative fines up to €15,000,000 or up to 3% of total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
