Do I need to register my business somewhere for using AI tools?
No. There is no register to sign for everyday AI tools like chatbots or writing assistants. What the law asks instead is records — what you use, that your team knows its limits, and that people are told when AI is involved.

What the law asks instead is practical records: what you use, that your team knows the limits of those tools, and that people are told when AI is involved. If a chatbot talks to people, they must be able to tell it is AI. Published AI-made content should carry a mark where Article 50 says so.

What the law actually says
"Providers shall ensure that artificial intelligence systems intended to interact directly with natural persons are designed and developed in such a way that the natural persons are informed that they are interacting with an artificial intelligence system…"— EU AI Act, Article 50(1) (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689); transparency duties apply from 2 August 2026 · eur-lex.europa.eu
