Spain mandates AI‑generated dashboards, reports, and slides be labeled

Spain has moved from discussion to enforcement, demanding transparency for every piece of analysis that passes through an algorithm. Companies that generate visualisations, performance metrics or presentation decks with generative tools now face a legal hurdle before those assets leave the corporate network. The rule targets not just polished client‑facing deliverables but also internal documents that could be circulated across departments or uploaded to shared drives.

For data teams accustomed to rapid prototyping, the requirement adds a compliance checkpoint that could reshape workflow approvals and audit trails. While the intent is to give end‑users clear insight into machine‑generated content, the practical impact may be felt in everyday BI pipelines, where a simple chart or slide could trigger a labeling step. This shift raises questions about how organisations will track provenance and what tools they’ll need to embed disclosures without slowing down decision‑making.

Under Spain's law, any output created or substantially modified by AI must be labeled as such before dissemination. That means your internal dashboards, BI reports, slide decks, and anything shared beyond your machine may require visible AI content disclosure. Published findings must carry provenanc
