Am I covered?
Answer a few questions about the AI content you generate and where it goes. The checker tells you which marking rules apply to you, what each one requires, which deadlines have passed and which is next, with the source for every rule and the date we read it. It is free and needs no account.
What it covers
- EU AI Act, Article 50
Machine-readable marking of every generated output, the 2 December 2026 grace for systems already on the market, and disclosure of deepfakes and public-interest text.
- EU Code of Practice
Signed metadata plus a watermark, a detection solution for your own outputs, and interoperable detection by 2 February 2027.
- California AI Transparency Act
A latent disclosure, a visible disclosure option and a free detection tool, for providers with over a million monthly users.
- New York General Business Law 396-b
A conspicuous disclosure in ads that feature an AI-generated person who is not a real, identifiable one.
- China’s labelling Measures and GB 45438-2025
A visible label and the AIGC metadata field on generated content, explained in your user agreement, and a ban on removing labels.
- South Korea’s AI Basic Act
Prior notice that a service runs on AI, a label on its output, and a clear label on output that could pass as real.
- India’s IT Rules on synthetic content
A prominent label and permanent metadata with a unique identifier on realistic audio, images and video, which users must not be able to remove.
- TikTok, Meta, YouTube, Google and LinkedIn
What each platform asks you to label when you post, and what it does with content that carries Content Credentials.
Why it asks what it asks
- What you generate
- The rules split by medium: California covers images, video and audio but not text; the Code asks for a text watermark only above 200 tokens.
- How you use it
- Offering generation under your own name makes you the provider, even on someone else’s model, and the marking duty is the provider’s. Publishing AI content yourself brings the disclosure duties.
- Where your users are
- Each law reaches its own market. The EU binds every provider placing a system on its market; California binds providers above a million monthly users; South Korea reaches businesses abroad whose service affects Korean users.
- Whether you launched before 2 August 2026
- If you did, the EU gives you until 2 December 2026 to mark; if not, the duty applied from launch.
- Whether it looks real
- Realistic people, places and events are where disclosure duties and most platform labelling rules start.
The rules are SignUnder’s rule packs: each is versioned, and every answer records the versions it used, so a link to your answer gives the same result later. SignUnder is not a law firm and the checker is not legal advice; every rule cites its primary source and the date it was read.
