# Telling customers about AI
Three distinct obligations get collapsed into one conversation, and they have different
triggers, different audiences and different evidence:
1. **You are talking to a machine.** Transparency about the interaction itself.
2. **AI was involved in a decision about you.** Transparency about a process, which may
carry a right to an explanation or to human review.
3. **Your conversation was processed by AI.** A data-processing question — QA scoring,
sentiment analysis, summarisation — that the customer may never see any output from.
The third is the one most often missed, because nothing about it is visible to the customer.
A support operation running AI QA over every conversation is processing personal data with
AI, whether or not a bot ever replied.
**What is legally required varies by jurisdiction, sector and use, and it is changing.
Nothing here states an obligation.** This gives you the design and the evidence; the
determination is legal's.
## Design the interaction disclosure
**Up front, not on request.** A bot that identifies itself only when asked has left every
customer who did not think to ask uninformed. Disclose at the start of the interaction.
**In the conversation, not only in a policy.** A line in the privacy notice is not a
disclosure to someone in a chat window.
**Answer the direct question honestly, always.** "Am I talking to a human?" must get a
straight answer. A bot deflecting that question is the single worst failure
