Connecting people. Amplifying impact. Shaping our future.
An LIA Update from Our President, Regina Thiergardt
LIA's vision is taking shape: a vibrant global community where people realize their potential, live out their mission, and make a difference together.
At the heart of this vision is our global community—and you, our members. By connecting with one another, sharing our knowledge, and creating opportunities to get involved, we can grow and flourish together.
Our digital infrastructure plays a key role in supporting this growing international community. This year, we began redesigning our LIA website to reflect our new brand identity. And as we reviewed various proposals, something exciting took shape:
“An opportunity to explore what our LIA Village could become—and to think beyond just a website.“
By Regina Thiergardt, President of the Logosynthesis International Association
LIA is becoming increasingly international
Logosynthesis® is reaching more and more countries and communities around the world. Behind this growth are people who are taking the initiative to promote and further develop the model in their local communities. Here, three pioneers share their vision and their journey.
I am Uros Rajakovic, a psychotherapist in Serbia and currently pursuing certification as a Master Practitioner in Logosynthesis®. Introducing Logosynthesis® to our region has been a deeply transformative journey, made possible by the invaluable support, guidance, and supervision of international trainers over the past decade. My work and the growth of our local community would be unimaginable without my dedicated colleagues, whose commitment and support I feel in our daily work.
Together, we have created a foundation of trust that offers clients a gentle, structured, and effective way to process traumatic experiences and release their vital energy. My goal is to further expand this supportive network in the region through workshops, support for seminars, and the certification of practitioners. Ultimately, we want Logosynthesis® to be recognized in Serbia and beyond as a holistic approach to healing and profound personal development.
I am Débora Gionotto and I am very pleased to be among the pioneers bringing Logosynthesis® to Brazil. As a psychoanalyst, I integrate Logosynthesis® into my clinical work, particularly when supporting clients dealing with anxiety, emotional distress, and recurring patterns. In doing so, I have already experienced firsthand the transformative potential of this approach in practice.
My goal is to make Logosynthesis® increasingly well-known and accessible in Brazil while preserving the depth, ethics, and quality of the model. At the same time, I would like to create opportunities for workshops and introductory training courses in various regions of the country.
I believe that if we work on ourselves and heal what needs to be healed, we can become more mindful, and our inner energy will change. This, in turn, can have a positive impact on the people around us.
That's one of the reasons why I love this work so much: It's not just about healing ourselves, but also about changing and becoming more aware. And as our awareness grows, we can also help others expand their awareness.
I am Alan Rojas Yacolca, an integrative therapist based in Lima, Peru, and I work with clients in the Americas and Europe. Logosynthesis® has become a central part of my work: It brings rapid relief and profound change—effortlessly—both in my own life and in my work with clients.
As the founder and director of the Andes Institute, I offer webinars, programs, and a comprehensive training path based entirely on the model. My goal is to make Peru the first Spanish-language training center for Logosynthesis® and thereby give Spanish-speaking professionals throughout Latin America the opportunity to discover and learn Logosynthesis®.
In October, I’ll be taking the next concrete step on this path: Together with Shanda, I’ll be hosting a Basic Seminar, which I’ll co-lead as part of my journey toward becoming a certified LIA trainer.
It is a true privilege and a great honor to help spread Logosynthesis® throughout the Spanish-speaking world. This is because it aligns with my deepest mission: I am here to heal and grow.
And I've realized that I can best serve this mission by training other professionals—therapists, counselors, and coaches—who, in turn, can reach many more people—far more than I could ever reach on my own.
Thanks, Alan!
On behalf of the LIA Logosynthesis® International Association, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Alan Rojas Yacolca of Lima, Peru, for his dedication as Chair of Local Organizations and as a member of the Board of Trustees.
Alan took on this role in 2023, at a critical juncture in the development of the LIA’s governance structure. His tenure coincided with the early development of the English-speaking Board of Trustees, which was established in parallel with the German-speaking Board of Directors that had led the Association since its founding in 2014. With his lively, empathetic, and deeply personal way of connecting with people, Alan helped shape the role and its potential contribution to a growing international community.
As Chair of Local Organizations, Alan brought energy, connection, and a genuine commitment to the development of Logosynthesis® communities around the world. He supported existing local organizations in the Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom, while also contributing to the founding and development of vibrant new chapters in Serbia and France. This work involves much more than just organizational structures. Local organizations create opportunities for practitioners and members to meet, learn, share experiences, and bring Logosynthesis® into their own communities. Alan also recognized the importance of international networking.
Seven years ago, he helped develop the Logosynthesis® Day, which has since become an annual opportunity for our international community to come together.
We are grateful for the time, insights, encouragement, and guidance that Alan has given to the LIA over the past three years. His contributions have helped strengthen the ties between the international association and the people who bring Logosynthesis® to life in their own countries and communities.
We wish Alan all the best as he continues his professional studies, and we look forward to his continued contributions and his connection with all of us.
Thank you, Alan, for helping to build this part of the LIA’s foundation, and for the care, energy, and connection you’ve brought to this work. We wish you all the best from the bottom of our hearts for everything that lies ahead.
Call for Participation! Positions on the LIA Board
As LIA continues to grow and evolve as an international community, we are looking for members who will contribute their experience, ideas, and energy to the LIA Board of Directors would like to contribute.
Currently, there are two options:
Social Media Chair
Help strengthen the LIA's presence and its connection to our wider community through social media and digital communication.
Events Chair
Help develop and coordinate events that bring our international community together—offering opportunities to learn, network, and share insights about Logosynthesis®.
Both positions are German-speaking members of the Board of Directors. Knowledge of English and/or other languages is an asset, particularly given LIA's international focus and our multilingual community.
You can learn more about the responsibilities and opportunities associated with each position in the Link.
Maybe one of these tasks appeals to you—or perhaps you have another idea about how you could contribute to LIA’s vision and development. We'd love to hear from you. Please contact Monika Koller Schinca, LIA Executive Director [director@logosynthesis.international] to discuss the options.
Mandatory AI Labeling Starting August 2, 2026
On August 2, 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act will take effect. This will introduce new transparency requirements for certain content that has been created or substantially altered using artificial intelligence. This also applies to Logosynthesis professionals who use AI for their professional communications, advertising, or training materials.
Labeling is particularly important when AI-generated or altered images, videos, or audio files appear realistic and could be mistaken for real people, places, events, or situations. Examples include:
• Realistic-looking images of clients or sessions
• AI-generated testimonial videos
• artificially created training or seminar scenes
• Audio or video recordings that have been significantly altered
Clearly symbolic or illustrative depictions, abstract graphics, recognizable icons, as well as simple spelling corrections or technical image optimizations are generally not subject to labeling requirements.
Even AI-generated texts may require disclosure if they inform the public about topics of public interest. Purely promotional content, course descriptions, and entertainment content are generally not subject to this requirement. However, for technical explanatory texts, it is advisable to carefully review the disclosure requirements.
What is the correct way to label something?
The notice must be immediately recognizable. Common phrases include, for example:
„AI-generated“
„Created with AI“
„AI-altered“
For images, the notice should appear directly on the image whenever possible. For videos, it should appear at the beginning and, for longer videos, additionally at other points throughout the video as needed. For audio content, the notice must be audible.
As a general rule, there is no retroactive labeling requirement for older content. The decisive factors are the date of creation, depending on the medium, and, in the case of texts, the date of publication as well.
It is important to note that an AI label does not replace a review of copyright, personality rights, data protection regulations, or professional standards. Particular care must still be exercised, especially with regard to testimonial content and the portrayal of clients.

LIA Goes International
Logosynthesis is reaching more countries and communities around the world. Behind this growth are people who are taking the initiative to introduce and develop the model locally. Here, three pioneers share their vision and their journey.
I’m Uros Rajakovic, a psychotherapist in Serbia and on my way to becoming a Master Practitioner in Logosynthesis. Introducing Logosynthesis to our region has been a profoundly transformative journey, made possible by the invaluable support, mentorship, and supervision we have received from international trainers over the past decade. My work and the growth of our local community would be unimaginable without my enthusiastic colleagues, whose shared dedication and peer support drive our daily efforts.
Together, we have established a compassionate foundation that offers clients a gentle, structured, and effective way to process trauma and restore vital energy. My goal is to continue expanding this supportive network throughout the region through workshops, seminar support, and practitioner certification. Ultimately, we envision Logosynthesis becoming a widely recognized approach to holistic healing and deep personal growth throughout Serbia and beyond.
I am Débora Gionotto and I am very happy to be one of the pioneers bringing Logosynthesis to Brazil. As a psychoanalyst, I incorporate Logosynthesis into my clinical work, particularly with clients dealing with anxiety, emotional distress, and recurring patterns, and I have already experienced its transformative potential in practice.
My goal is to make Logosynthesis increasingly well-known and accessible in Brazil, while preserving the depth, ethics, and quality of the method, and to create opportunities for workshops and basic training in different regions of the country.
I believe that when we work on ourselves and heal what needs to be healed, we become more aware and our inner energy changes, which can have a positive impact on the people around us.
This is one of the reasons I love this work: it's not just about healing ourselves, but about transforming and becoming more conscious. And as our consciousness expands, we can help others expand theirs as well.
I’m Alan Rojas Yacolca, an integrative therapist based in Lima, Peru, serving clients across the Americas and Europe. Logosynthesis has become central to my practice: it provides rapid relief and profound change, and it does so effortlessly, both in my own life and in my work with clients. As founder and director of the Andes Institute, I offer webinars, programs, and a comprehensive training pathway built entirely on the model, with the goal of making Peru the first Spanish-language training hub for Logosynthesis and opening the door for Spanish-speaking professionals across Latin America to discover and learn it. This October, I’m taking a concrete step on that path: co-facilitating the Basic Seminar alongside Shanda as part of my journey toward becoming a certified LIA Trainer. It’s a true privilege and honor to help lead the spread of Logosynthesis in the Spanish-speaking region, because it aligns with my deepest mission: I am here to heal and grow. And I’ve come to realize that the best way to serve that mission is by training other professionals—therapists, counselors, and coaches—who will each go on to reach many more people than I ever could on my own.
Thank you, Alan!
On behalf of the Logosynthesis® International Association, we would like to express our sincere thanks to Alan Rojas Yacolca for his service as Chair of Local Organizations and as a member of the Board of Trustees.
Alan assumed the role in 2023, at a critical juncture in the development of LIA’s governance. His term marked the early development of the English-speaking Board of Trustees, established alongside the German-speaking Board of Directors that had guided the Association since its founding in 2014. With his vibrant, compassionate, and distinctly personal way of connecting with people, Alan helped shape the role and what it could contribute to a growing international community.
As Chair of Local Organizations, Alan brought energy, connection, and a genuine commitment to supporting the development of Logosynthesis® communities around the world. He supported established local organizations in the Netherlands, Italy, and the UK, while also contributing to the formation and development of vibrant new chapters in Serbia and France.
This work is about much more than organizational structures. Local organizations create opportunities for practitioners and members to meet, learn, share experiences, and bring Logosynthesis® into their own communities. Alan also understood the importance of international connections. Seven years ago, he helped co-create Logosynthesis® Day, which has now become an annual opportunity for our international community to come together.
We are grateful for the time, thought, encouragement, and leadership Alan has given to LIA over the past three years. His contribution has helped strengthen the connections between the international association and the people who are bringing Logosynthesis® to life in their own countries and communities.
We wish Alan all the best as he continues his professional studies, and we look forward to his continued contributions and connection with all of us.
Thank you, Alan, for helping to build this part of LIA’s foundation and for the care, energy, and connection you have brought to the work. We wish you all the very best for what lies ahead.

LIA Is Going Global
Logosynthèse® is spreading to more and more countries and communities around the world. Behind this growth are people who are taking the initiative to promote and develop the model in their regions. Here, three pioneers share their vision and their journeys.
I am Uros Rajakovic, a psychotherapist in Serbia who is in the process of becoming a Master Practitioner in Logosynthesis®. Introducing Logosynthesis® to our region has been a profoundly transformative journey, made possible by the invaluable support, mentorship, and supervision we have received from international trainers over the past decade. My work and the development of our local community would be unimaginable without my enthusiastic colleagues, whose shared commitment and peer support fuel our efforts every day.
Together, we have created a supportive foundation that offers clients a gentle, structured, and effective way to work through trauma and regain their vital energy. My goal is to continue developing this support network throughout the region through workshops, seminar facilitation, and practitioner certification. Ultimately, we hope that Logosynthesis® will become a widely recognized approach for promoting holistic healing and profound personal development in Serbia and beyond.
I am Débora Gionotto And I am very happy to be among the pioneers introducing Logosynthesis® to Brazil. As a psychoanalyst, I incorporate Logosynthesis® into my clinical practice, particularly with clients dealing with anxiety, emotional distress, and recurring patterns. I have already witnessed the transformative potential of this approach in my practice.
My goal is to raise awareness of Logosynthesis® and make it increasingly accessible in Brazil, while preserving the depth, ethics, and quality of the model, and to create opportunities for workshops and basic training in different regions of the country.
I believe that when we work on ourselves and heal what needs to be healed, we become more aware and our inner energy changes. This can have a positive influence on the people around us.
That’s one of the reasons why I love this work so much: it’s not just about healing ourselves, but also about transforming ourselves and becoming more aware. And as our awareness expands, we can help others expand theirs.
I am Alan Rojas Yacolca, an integrative therapist based in Lima, Peru, and I work with clients in the Americas and Europe. Logosynthesis® has become a central part of my practice: it brings rapid relief and profound change with ease, both in my own life and in my work with my clients.
As the founder and director of the Andes Institute, I offer webinars, programs, and a comprehensive training curriculum based entirely on the model. My goal is to make Peru the premier destination for Spanish-language training in Logosynthesis®, thereby opening the door for Spanish-speaking professionals throughout Latin America to discover and learn Logosynthesis®.
In October, I will take a concrete step along this path: I will co-facilitate the introductory seminar with Shanda as part of my journey toward becoming a certified LIA trainer.
It is a true privilege and an honor to contribute to the development of Logosynthesis® in the Spanish-speaking world, as this aligns with my deepest mission: I am here to heal and grow.
And I realized that the best way to fulfill this mission is to train other professionals—therapists, counselors, and coaches—who, in turn, will be able to reach far more people than I could ever reach on my own.
Thanks, Alan!
On behalf of the Logosynthesis® International Association, we extend our sincere thanks to Alan Rojas Yacolca of Lima, Peru, for his dedication as Chair of Local Organizations and member of the Board of Trustees.
Alan assumed this position in 2023, at a pivotal moment in the evolution of the LIA’s governance. His tenure coincided with the early stages of establishing the English-speaking Board of Trustees, created in parallel with the German-speaking Board of Directors that had guided the Association since its founding in 2014. Through his dynamic, caring, and deeply personal approach to building relationships with people, Alan helped shape this role and what it could offer to a rapidly growing international community.
As Chair of Local Organizations, Alan brought his energy, his sense of connection, and a sincere commitment to the development of Logosynthesis® communities around the world. He supported the local organizations established in the Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom, while also contributing to the creation and development of new, dynamic chapters in Serbia and France.
This work goes far beyond organizational structures. Local organizations create opportunities for practitioners and members to meet, learn, share their experiences, and introduce Logosynthesis® to their own communities. Alan also understood the importance of international connections. Seven years ago, he helped co-create Logosynthesis® Day, which has since become an annual event that brings our international community together.
We are grateful to Alan for the time, thought, encouragement, and leadership he has devoted to the LIA over the past three years. His contributions have helped strengthen the ties between the International Association and the people who bring Logosynthesis® to life in their own countries and communities.
We wish Alan every success as he continues his professional studies, and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his contributions and his connections with all of us.
Thank you, Alan, for helping to lay this part of the foundation for the LIA, and for the care, energy, and connections you’ve brought to this work. We wish you all the best in the future.
Call for Participation! Open Positions on the LIA Board of Directors
As the LIA continues to grow and develop as an international community, we are looking for members who wish to contribute their experience, ideas, and energy to the LIA Board of Directors.
We currently have two options:
Social Media Chair
Help strengthen the LIA's presence and its ties with our entire community through social media and digital communication.
Events Chair
Contribute to the development and coordination of events that bring our international community together, particularly around learning, exchange, and sharing Logosynthesis®.
Both functions are German-speaking positions on the Board of Directors. English and/or other languages are a plus, especially given the international scope of the LIA and our multilingual community.
You can learn more about the responsibilities and opportunities associated with each role in the links.
Perhaps one of these roles appeals to you—or maybe you have another idea about how you could contribute to the LIA’s vision and development. We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact Monika Koller Schinca, LIA Executive Director, to explore the possibilities.
AI Labeling Requirements Effective August 2, 2026
Article 50 of the European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence (EU AI Act) takes effect on August 2, 2026. It introduces new transparency requirements for certain content created or substantially modified using artificial intelligence. These requirements also apply to Logosynthesis® professionals who use AI in their professional communications, advertising, or training materials.
Labeling is particularly important when images, videos, or audio recordings generated or modified by AI appear realistic and could be mistaken for real people, places, events, or situations. Examples include:
• realistic images of clients or sessions
• AI-generated testimonial videos
• training or seminar scenarios created artificially
• audio or video recordings that have been substantially modified
Clearly symbolic or illustrative images, abstract graphics, recognizable icons, simple spelling corrections, and technical image optimization are generally not subject to these labeling requirements.
AI-generated texts may also need to be labeled if they inform the public about matters of general interest. Advertisements, course descriptions, and entertainment content are generally not affected. For explanatory texts of a professional nature, however, it is recommended to carefully assess whether labeling is necessary.
How do you properly tag content?
The statement must be immediately recognizable. Common phrasings include:
«Generated by AI»
«Created with AI»
«Modified by AI»
For images, it is best to include the credit directly in the image. For videos, the credit should appear at the beginning, and for longer videos, it may need to be repeated throughout the video. For audio content, the credit must be audible.
In principle, there is no requirement to retroactively label older content. Depending on the medium, the date the content was created is the determining factor; for texts, the publication date is also a factor.
It is important to note that AI-related labeling does not replace the need to assess copyright, moral rights, data protection requirements, or professional regulations. Special care must still be taken when using testimonials or depicting clients.

Connecting people. Amplifying our impact. Shaping our future. An update from LIA President Regina Thiergardt
LIA's vision is taking shape: a vibrant global community where people can realize their potential, live out their mission, and make a meaningful impact—together.
At the heart of this vision is our global community—and you, our members. By connecting with one another, sharing what we know, and creating opportunities to contribute, we can grow and thrive together.
Our digital infrastructure plays an important role in supporting this growing international community. This year, we began redesigning the LIA website to reflect our new brand identity. And as we explored various proposals, an interesting opportunity arose:
“Exploring what our LIA Village could become—and going beyond the idea of a simple website.“4
Regina Thiergardt, President of the Logosynthesis International Association
LIA Goes Global
Logosynthesis® is reaching an ever-increasing number of countries and communities around the world. Behind this growth are people who are taking the initiative to introduce and develop the model at the local level. Here, three pioneers share their vision and their journey.
Sono Uros Rajakovic, a psychotherapist in Serbia who is working toward the title of Master Practitioner in Logosynthesis®. Introducing Logosynthesis® to our region has been a deeply transformative journey, made possible by the invaluable support, mentoring, and supervision we have received from international trainers over the past decade. My work and the growth of our local community would be unthinkable without my enthusiastic colleagues, whose shared commitment and peer support fuel our daily work.
Together, we have created a welcoming environment that offers clients a gentle, structured, and effective way to work through trauma and regain their vital energy. My goal is to continue expanding this support network throughout the region through workshops, seminar facilitation, and practitioner certification. Ultimately, we envision Logosynthesis® as a widely recognized approach to holistic healing and profound personal growth in Serbia and beyond.
Sono Débora Gionotto I am very happy to be among the pioneers bringing Logosynthesis® to Brazil. As a psychoanalyst, I incorporate Logosynthesis® into my clinical work, particularly with clients who are dealing with anxiety, emotional distress, and recurring patterns. I have already experienced its transformative potential in practice.
My goal is to raise awareness of Logosynthesis® in Brazil and make it accessible to a growing number of people, while preserving the depth, ethics, and quality of the model, and creating opportunities for workshops and introductory training in various regions of the country.
I believe that when we work on ourselves and heal what needs to be healed, we become more aware, and our inner energy changes. This can have a positive influence on the people around us.
This is one of the reasons why I love this work: it’s not just about personal healing, but also about transformation and the growth of our awareness. And as our awareness expands, we can help others expand theirs as well.
Sono Alan Rojas Yacolca, an integrative therapist based in Lima, Peru, and I work with clients in the Americas and Europe. Logosynthesis® has become central to my practice: it offers rapid relief and profound changes, and it does so naturally and effortlessly, both in my personal life and in my work with clients.
As the founder and director of the Andes Institute, I offer webinars, programs, and a comprehensive training course based entirely on the model, with the goal of making Peru the premier Spanish-language training center for Logosynthesis® and opening the door for Spanish-speaking professionals throughout Latin America so they can discover and learn Logosynthesis®.
This October, I will take a concrete step in this direction: I will co-lead the Basic Seminar with Shanda as part of my journey toward becoming a certified LIA Trainer.
It is a true privilege and honor to help spread Logosynthesis® throughout the Spanish-speaking world, because this is in line with my deepest mission: I am here to heal and grow.
And I realized that the most meaningful way to serve this mission is to train other professionals—therapists, counselors, and coaches—who, in turn, will be able to reach many more people than I could ever reach on my own.
Thanks, Alan!
On behalf of the Logosynthesis® International Association, we would like to express our sincere thanks to Alan Rojas Yacolca of Lima, Peru, for his dedication as Chair of Local Organizations and as a member of the Board of Trustees.
Alan assumed this position in 2023, at a pivotal moment in the development of LIA’s governance. His tenure coincided with the early stages of developing the English-speaking governance arm of the Board of Trustees, established in parallel with the German-speaking Board of Directors that had led the Association since its founding in 2014. With his lively, compassionate, and deeply personal way of connecting with people, Alan helped shape the role and what it could bring to a growing international community.
As Chair of Local Organizations, Alan has brought energy, connection, and a genuine commitment to supporting the development of Logosynthesis® communities around the world. He has supported local organizations already active in the Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom, while also contributing to the formation and development of vibrant new chapters in Serbia and France.
This work involves much more than just organizational structures. Local organizations create opportunities for practitioners and members to meet, learn, share experiences, and bring Logosynthesis® to their communities. Alan also understood the importance of international connections. Seven years ago, he helped co-create Logosynthesis® Day, which has now become an annual event for our international community.
We are grateful to Alan for the time, thought, encouragement, and leadership he has devoted to the LIA over the past three years. His contributions have helped strengthen the ties between the International Association and the people who bring Logosynthesis® to life in their countries and communities.
We wish Alan all the best as he continues his professional studies, and we are delighted to be able to continue counting on his contributions and his connection with all of us.
Thank you, Alan, for helping to lay this part of the foundation for the LIA and for the care, energy, and connection you’ve brought to this work. We wish you all the best for what lies ahead.
I invite you to participate! Open positions on the LIA Board of Directors
As LIA continues to grow and develop as an international community, we are looking for members who would like to contribute their experience, ideas, and energy to the LIA Board of Directors.
There are currently two opportunities available:
Social Media Chair
Help strengthen the LIA's presence and its relationship with the broader community through social media and digital communication.
Events Chair
Contribute to the development and coordination of events that bring our international community together, creating opportunities for learning, connecting, and sharing Logosynthesis®.
Both positions are Positions on the German-speaking Board of Directors. Knowledge of English and/or other languages is an asset, especially given the international nature of LIA and our multilingual community.
You can find more information about the responsibilities and opportunities associated with each role in the link.
Perhaps one of these positions speaks to you—or maybe you have another idea about how you could contribute to LIA’s vision and development. We would really love to hear from you. Please contact us at Monika Koller Schinca, LIA Executive Director, to explore the possibilities.
Labeling Requirements for AI-Generated Content Effective August 2, 2026
Article 50 of the EU AI Act will take effect on August 2, 2026. It introduces new transparency requirements for certain content created or substantially modified using artificial intelligence. These requirements also apply to Logosynthesis® professionals who use AI for their professional communications, advertising, or training materials.
Labeling is particularly important when images, videos, or audio recordings generated or modified by AI appear realistic and could be mistaken for real people, places, events, or situations. Some examples:
• Realistic images of clients or sessions
• AI-generated video testimonials
• artificially created training scenarios or seminars
• Audio or video recordings that have been substantially altered
Clearly symbolic or illustrative depictions, abstract graphics, recognizable icons, simple spelling corrections, and technical image optimization are generally not subject to labeling requirements.
Even AI-generated texts may require labeling if they inform the public about matters of public interest. Advertisements, course descriptions, and entertainment content generally do not fall into this category. For professional explanatory texts, however, it is advisable to carefully assess whether labeling is necessary.
How should content be labeled correctly?
The notice must be immediately recognizable. Common phrases include:
“Generated by AI”
“Created with AI”
“Edited by AI”
For images, it is best to include the disclaimer directly in the image. For videos, the disclaimer should appear at the beginning, and for longer videos, it may be necessary to repeat it throughout the video. For audio content, the disclaimer must be audible.
In principle, there is no requirement for retroactive labeling of older content. Depending on the medium, the date the content was created is relevant, and for texts, the publication date is also relevant.
It is important to note that AI labeling does not replace the need to assess copyright, moral rights, data protection requirements, or professional regulations. However, special care must be taken when using testimonials or representing clients.
