Does Chili Piper trigger an EU AI Act Article 50 duty?
by Chili Piper
Verdict — duty applies
Article 50(1) — tell people they're interacting with AI
This tool puts an AI in direct contact with your visitors. Article 50(1) of the EU AI Act requires that people are informed they are interacting with an AI system — clearly, and no later than the first interaction — unless it's already obvious to a reasonably informed person.
Scheduling & booking AI: where this tool sits
AI booking assistants and smart schedulers. Where the booking flow is conversational, the interaction disclosure applies; pure calendar optimisation carries no duty.
Ask whether your visitor is talking to it. If yes, they should know it's AI.
What you must show
- A visible notice at or before the first exchange — on the widget itself, not in a footer.
- Plain wording: say it's an AI assistant, not a euphemism.
- A route to a human where one exists — it strengthens trust and the disclosure.
A disclosure you can adapt
“You're chatting with an AI assistant (Chili Piper). Ask to be transferred to a person at any time.”
