Law enforcement: exempt from the disclosure duty, with safeguards

An authority empowered by law to detect criminal offences wants to deploy an interactive AI system without telling those involved that they are communicating with AI.

The official source remains authoritative. This is general information about obligations and not legal advice. See this object on the map

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Article 50(1) exempts providers of interactive AI systems from the disclosure duty where they are authorised by law to detect, prevent, investigate or prosecute criminal offences, subject to appropriate safeguards for the rights and freedoms of third parties. The Commission guidelines of 20 July 2026 elaborate that exception.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

The exception is narrow and conditional: it requires a legal basis for the law-enforcement task and appropriate safeguards for third parties. A public task by itself is not enough, and the safeguards are not a footnote but part of the ground you are relying on.
