AI Disclosure Requirements

- EU AI Act: Deployers must inform individuals of high-risk AI use; transparency for chatbots, deepfakes, emotion recognition
- NYC Local Law 144: 10-day advance notice before AEDT use in hiring
- Colorado AI Act: Notice when AI makes consequential decisions
- CCPA/CPRA: Right to know about automated decision-making
- GDPR: Right to be informed about automated decision-making
Disclosure typically must include:
- That AI is being used
- Purpose of the AI system
- How to contest decisions (where applicable)
- Human alternatives (where required)
