AI Chatbot Checklist — EU AI Act Article 50 (2026)

Typical risk posture

Most B2B support chatbots are limited risk on transparency — but still need Art. 50 work. High-risk depends on what the bot decides (e.g. eligibility, employment, credit).

Checklist

• [ ] Intended purpose clear (support vs decisioning)
• [ ] Disclosure in UI before / during chat
• [ ] Escalation to human documented
• [ ] No silent automated legal/significant decisions — or Art. 22 assessed
• [ ] Model vendor inventoried
• [ ] Logs for escalations / complaints

Dates

• Art. 50: 2 August 2026
• Annex III (only if your chatbot is actually high-risk): 2 December 2027
