Questions businesses ask
Do I need an AI disclosure on my website chatbot?
If your chatbot talks with people in states like Utah, Maine, California or New York, or you'd rather not risk a deceptive-practices claim under the FTC Act, a clear notice that visitors are talking to AI is the safe choice. Which laws apply depends on your chatbot and where your customers are.
Where should the AI notice appear?
Beside the chat, visible when the conversation starts and before the visitor shares information. Some laws also require repeating it during long conversations, especially for minors.
Is a line in my privacy policy enough?
Usually not. Most chatbot disclosure laws expect the notice at the point of the conversation, where the person will actually see it.
