<h1 id="h_c2d90f8bad"><b>🌍 Why AI Image Labeling Matters</b></h1><p class="no-margin">The EU AI Act and related regulations require that AI-generated images be clearly disclosed to end users. This applies to images created through tools like Search Atlas's AI image generation features in <b>Google Business Profile (GBP)</b> and the <b>Social Hub</b>. Ensuring your content meets these requirements protects your business and your clients from compliance risk.</p><h1 id="h_5f6c28ba01"><b>📋 Current State of AI Image Labeling in Search Atlas</b></h1><p class="no-margin">Automatic EU compliance labeling for AI-generated images is not yet available in Search Atlas. This is a feature that has been requested, and it is not currently built into the platform. There is no automatic disclosure label applied to AI-generated images at the account level, and no in-platform filter or screening tool exists for this purpose at this time.</p><h1 id="h_66fd75e8b1"><b>⚙️ What You Can Do Right Now</b></h1><p class="no-margin">Because automatic labeling is not yet available, you will need to manage EU AI disclosure requirements manually until a platform solution exists. Here is how to approach this:</p><ol><li><p class="no-margin"><b>Identify AI-generated images before publishing.</b> When you use Search Atlas AI tools to generate images for GBP or Social Hub, note which images were AI-created so you can track them separately.</p></li><li><p class="no-margin"><b>Add a visible disclosure manually.</b> Before publishing any AI-generated image, add a clear disclosure such as <b>"Created with AI"</b> or <b>"AI-generated image"</b> as a caption or accompanying text in your post.</p></li><li><p class="no-margin"><b>Keep your own records.</b> Maintain a log of which published images are AI-generated. This supports your compliance posture while no automated solution is in place.</p></li><li><p class="no-margin"><b>Apply extra caution in regulated industries.</b> If you manage content for clients in medical, legal, financial, or other regulated sectors, consult your legal team on the specific disclosure requirements that apply to those industries.</p></li></ol><h1 id="h_0ef696638a"><b>📩 How to Escalate This Request</b></h1><p class="no-margin">If you would like to formally request automatic EU compliance labeling as a platform feature, or if you need guidance on your specific compliance situation, reach out to our team.
