Article 50 Evidence Log Template

Last updated 2026-08-16·Not legal advice

Not legal advice. Templates are starting drafts for AI SaaS teams preparing for legal review and procurement. Confirm with counsel before use.

When to use

Keep one row (or one sheet) per AI touchpoint that may trigger Article 50 — chat widgets, agents, generated-content publish flows, voice UIs. Obligations apply from 2 August 2026 where relevant (guidelines 20 July 2026). This is a product evidence draft, not legal advice.

How to fill

  1. Inventory every surface where a person interacts with AI or sees AI-generated content you publish.
  2. Capture a live screenshot (desktop + mobile if different).
  3. Record placement, wording version, owner, and Art. 50 paragraph hypothesis.
  4. Attach approval date before you call the surface “done.”
  5. Re-check after each release that changes the chat UI.
