Legalithm – EU AI Act Compliance Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
The EU AI Act’s transparency rules apply from 2 August 2026. If your website uses an AI chatbot, AI-generated content, or an AI assistant, Article 50 requires you to tell visitors clearly. This plugin adds that transparency to WordPress in minutes.
What it does
- AI disclosure (Article 50). Show a clear, accessible notice that visitors are interacting with AI or viewing AI-generated content. Four styles (banner, inline, badge, modal), with default copy in English, German, Italian, French, Dutch, and Spanish. Shortcode:
[legalithm_ai_act_disclosure]. - AI literacy (Article 4). A built-in staff AI-literacy checklist that records a dated completion, so you can show you have addressed the literacy obligation. Optional shortcode:
[legalithm_ai_act_literacy]. - Automatic AI-tool detection. Scan your site for known AI tools (chatbots, AI content plugins, AI assistants) and get a one-click suggestion to switch on the matching disclosure. You review and confirm; nothing visitor-facing is ever enabled behind your back.
Why this plugin
- Runs entirely on your site. No account, no signup, and no data is sent anywhere. Your content and visitor data never leave your server.
- Fast and lightweight. Detection runs on demand (or on an optional schedule) and caches the result. Nothing scans on every page load.
- Free. Disclosure, literacy, and detection are free and fully functional on their own.
- Coexists cleanly. Uses its own settings option (
legalithm_ai_act_settings), so it will not clash with other tools.
The AI-tools registry is a curated starter set (dozens of common chatbots and content tools), not an exhaustive catalog. Matches show why they fired, so you can sanity-check before enabling a notice.
What it does not do
This plugin covers the Article 50 and Article 4 transparency obligations. It does not determine your risk tier or cover high-risk duties such as technical documentation, a fundamental-rights impact assessment (FRIA), or EU database registration. To see which obligations apply to your AI, run the free assessment at https://www.legalithm.com/en/ai-act-assessment .
Important: This plugin helps you implement common AI Act transparency measures. It is a technical tool, not legal advice, and it does not guarantee compliance. For your specific obligations, consult a qualified professional.
External services
This plugin does not use, connect to, or send any data to external or third-party services. Everything runs locally on your WordPress site:
- The AI disclosure notice and AI literacy checklist render from bundled, local settings and copy.
- AI detection compares a local, bundled list of known AI-tool “fingerprints” (plugin slugs and script hostnames) against your site’s own installed plugins and already-enqueued scripts. Hostnames such as
generativelanguage.googleapis.com,widget.intercom.io, orembed.tawk.toappear only as text to match against; the plugin never contacts them, makes no HTTP requests, and loads no remote files.
The only outbound link in the plugin is an optional, clearly labelled link in the admin screens that opens the free assessment at https://www.legalithm.com/en/ai-act-assessment in a new browser tab. It is a plain link (no data is sent, no API is called) that the site owner may choose to click.
