AI Labeling

AI-generated content must be clearly identified where required by platform guidelines, legal requirements, or communication standards. However, implementation differs depending on the platform and use case.

Identify AI content clearly

AI-generated content must be clearly identified where required by platform guidelines, legal requirements, or communication standards. However, implementation differs depending on the platform and use case.

We distinguish between two approaches:

  • Content-level labeling

    Direct labeling applied to an image, interface element, or individual piece of content.
  • Platform-level disclosure

    A general disclosure statement placed on a website or platform explaining that AI-generated content or imagery is used.

For HARTMANN websites, AI-generated content is generally disclosed through a contextual note on the website rather than by applying labels directly onto individual assets.

Two approved AI labeling elements are available for applications where direct labeling is required.

AI Indicator

The AI Indicator is a compact, icon-based element used primarily for AI-generated images when space is limited.

Typical use cases include:

  • Printed brochures
  • Social media assets
  • Online banners
  • Compact digital placements

The AI Indicator may also be used in other contexts where a minimal visual footprint is required.

Appearance

The AI Indicator is available in a black and white version and is always displayed at 75% opacity.

Usage

Use the AI Indicator when labeling image-based AI content or when space is limited.

Download AI Indicator

The AI Indicator is available for download in the download section as an SVG file in both light and dark versions.

AI Generated Label

The AI Generated Label combines the AI icon with descriptive text and is used when additional explanatory context is required.

Typical use cases include:

  • AI-assisted form inputs
  • AI-generated copy suggestions
  • content modules generated or prefilled by AI
  • digital experiences involving AI-generated content

The label is available in the following language versions:

  • EN — AI-generated
  • DE — KI-generiert
  • FR — généré par IA
  • ES — generado por IA

The text within the AI Generated Label is a fixed part of the element and must not be edited, recreated, or typeset separately.

Appearance

The AI Generated label is available in a black and white version and is always displayed at 75% opacity.

Usage

Use the AI Generated Label when explicit communication about AI-generated or AI-assisted content is required.
