EU AI Act Ready

Yes. Everything described on this page is included: the readiness score, self-assessment wizard, AI Systems registry, AI content and image disclosure, chatbot transparency notices, RSS disclosure, the Article 4 AI literacy checklist, and the exportable compliance report. There is no trial period, no account to create, no license key to enter, and no feature that stops working after a set number of posts or images. The plugin is licensed under GPLv2 or later. The AI tools registry is fetched from eu-ai-act-ready.com at no cost and requires no registration or API key. If it cannot be reached, the plugin keeps using the tool list it last downloaded, and you can declare AI tools manually at any time.

The plugin flags potentially AI-generated images using multiple heuristic signals, including attachment metadata, filenames, EXIF information, and common technical patterns. Images can also be manually marked or unmarked at any time.

No. AI-generated text disclosure must be applied manually by the site owner to ensure accuracy and editorial control. The plugin does not analyze or infer AI usage in text content.

Yes. You can fully customize the wording, placement, and style of disclosure notices from EU AI Act Ready --> Settings. Under Content Transparency you can also choose whether the notice appears above the content, below it, or in both places.

Yes. Automatic labelling needs an <img> tag to attach the label to, so an image rendered as a CSS background - a common pattern for hero and header areas - is never seen. Pass the markup your template renders through the euaiactready_label_media filter and both background images and plain <img> tags in it will be labelled: echo apply_filters( 'euaiactready_label_media', $header_html ); No function_exists() guard is needed: if the plugin is inactive the filter is simply unregistered and the markup is returned unchanged. Where the badge sits on a background image is controlled by Settings --> Media/Image Labels --> Badge Placement (Background Images).

No. Detection processes run asynchronously or on demand. Front-end output is lightweight and loads only when disclosures are enabled.

EU AI Act Ready supports transparency disclosures for AI-generated content created using tools such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, DALL-E, Claude, Google Gemini, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, GitHub Copilot, and similar AI platforms. For chatbots, the plugin supports disclosure notices for platforms including Formilla, Intercom, Drift, Tidio, Tawk.to, Zendesk Chat, LiveChat, Crisp, Freshchat, as well as custom or self-hosted chatbot implementations. Chatbot disclosures can be enabled per platform from the plugin settings.

Yes. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data and does not process user data for AI detection or AI transparency features. All processing happens locally on your server, and no data is sent to third-party services.

Yes. EU AI Act Ready works with the Gutenberg block editor, Elementor, and the Classic Editor. The AI Content Disclosure meta box appears in the editor and lets you choose from four disclosure levels. You can also set the disclosure level from the Posts list using Quick Edit, without opening the post editor. AI image labels are also supported in Bricks Builder output.

Go to EU AI Act Ready --> Dashboard and use the bulk scanning tools to process media library items in batches.

Yes. From Settings --> Content Transparency --> Content Types, you can enable the AI disclosure meta box, list column, and bulk actions for any public post type registered by installed themes and plugins. Posts and pages are enabled by default; all other public post types can be toggled on or off.

Yes. Use the [eu_ai_disclosure] shortcode to insert a notice anywhere WordPress accepts shortcodes - posts, pages, widgets, or block templates. The shortcode supports optional type (content, image, chatbot), style (banner, inline, badge, modal), and message attributes. When attributes are omitted, the shortcode falls back to your saved Settings values. The shortcode renders regardless of whether the global transparency toggle is on or off.

Yes, optionally. From EU AI Act Ready --> Settings --> RSS & Feeds you can enable a plain-text "- AI Disclosure: …" line appended to RSS feed content and excerpts for posts marked as AI-generated. You can also enable a [AI Content] prefix on RSS feed titles. Both options are off by default. RSS disclosure works independently of the global transparency toggle.

Yes. You can manually mark or unmark any post, page, custom post type, or media item as AI-generated using editor controls or bulk actions.

The readiness score is a number from 0 to 100 calculated from six key obligations: AI content disclosures active, AI content items disclosed, AI images scanned, chatbot transparency configured, AI systems declared, and Article 4 AI literacy addressed. Each met obligation contributes equally to the score. The score and a checklist of unmet items are shown on the Dashboard and in the WordPress Dashboard widget.

The Self-Assessment wizard on the Assessment page walks you through six questions about how your site uses AI - covering chatbots, AI-generated content, AI images, personalisation, translation, and synthetic media. Based on your answers, the plugin identifies which EU AI Act obligations are likely applicable and recommends actions. Completing the assessment counts toward your Compliance Readiness Score.

Yes. Click the Export Report button on the Dashboard. A new browser tab opens with a print-friendly report summarising your readiness score, detected AI systems, self-assessment answers, and AI literacy checklist status. You can print or save the report as a PDF for internal audit or stakeholder review. The report includes the site URL and the date it was generated.

Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires deployers of AI systems to take reasonable steps to ensure their staff have sufficient AI literacy - meaning they understand what AI tools are in use, their capabilities, and how to raise concerns. The AI Literacy checklist on the AI Literacy page lets you track whether key obligations have been addressed (such as informing staff, documenting policies, and arranging training). Completing the checklist contributes to your Compliance Readiness Score.

All plugin settings and AI content markers remain stored in the database. Reactivating the plugin restores all functionality. To remove all data, uninstall the plugin.
