AI content disclosure template for marketing teams
Why marketing teams need a disclosure template
Marketing teams are often the heaviest users of generative AI — writing copy, creating images, producing video. Under Article 50, certain AI-generated content published to the public must be identifiable. A disclosure template ensures consistency across channels.
What needs disclosure
- AI-generated text published on matters of public interest (unless human editorial review applies)
- AI-generated images, audio, and video — should be labeled as AI-generated
- Deepfakes — must be disclosed as artificially generated
- AI chatbots used in marketing or customer service — must inform users they are interacting with AI
Disclosure wording by channel
Social media posts (AI-generated image)
"AI-generated image"
Place in the caption or as a visible watermark on the image.
Blog posts (AI-assisted writing on public interest topics)
"This article was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence. A human editor reviewed and approved the final content."
Place at the top or bottom of the article.
Email marketing (AI-generated copy)
No specific Article 50 requirement for marketing email — but as best practice:
"This content was generated with AI assistance and reviewed by our team."
Place in the email footer.
Video content (AI-generated or deepfake)
"This video contains AI-generated content."
Place at the start of the video and in the description.
Ad creatives (AI-generated visuals)
"AI-generated visual"
Place in a corner of the creative or in the ad description.
When disclosure is not required
- Marketing copy that has been substantially edited by a human who takes responsibility
- Internal documents and drafts
- Content where it's obvious to a reasonably well-informed person that it's AI-generated
Workflow for marketing teams
- Audit: List all AI-generated content you publish
- Decide: Determine which content needs a label
- Apply: Use the appropriate wording from this template
- Log: Record what was labeled, when, and by whom
- Review: Check periodically that labels are being applied consistently
