Voluntary AI involvement label: A
Human-authored
made by people · Made by people from start to finish
A person created it. AI appeared only as a checker, a search tool or a sounding board for ideas — nothing AI-generated made it into the finished piece.
Typical examples
- Grammar and spell checks
- Search and research queries
- Brainstorming chats
Human review at this level
Human judgement throughout: the maker is the author.
Article 50 context
AI Act · bindingFully human-authored work carries no Article 50 content-disclosure duty. Separate duties can still apply to the systems around it — a chatbot interface, for example, has to announce itself.
EU icons and this grade
This grade does not select an EU icon, and no grade does. The icons are optional tools from the voluntary Code of Practice, and Article 50 requires disclosure in defined situations — a possible deepfake, or qualifying public-interest text — whichever grade the piece happens to carry.
The three icons, and when to reach for oneThe badge
Seen this badge somewhere? It means the publisher declares this level of AI involvement using the voluntary aiflags.eu scale. It is not an official EU label or legal risk class.
