EU AI Act Compliance

AI Disclosure

Transparency about how artificial intelligence is used to create content on Málaga.is, in compliance with EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations.

Last updated: January 2026

“This project uses artificial intelligence as a tool, not as a substitute for judgment, values, or responsibility.”

Summary

  • Articles on this website are automatically generated by AI
  • Content is published without prior human review
  • The system operates autonomously within predefined guardrails
  • Human oversight is reactive (corrections made upon notification)

1. What AI Systems We Use

Málaga.is uses artificial intelligence systems to assist in content creation. Specifically:

Large Language Models (LLMs)

We use Google’s Gemini models to automatically generate, research, and structure article content.

Image Selection

AI assists in selecting appropriate images from licensed stock photo services (primarily Unsplash) based on article content.

Content Scheduling

Automated systems manage content publication schedules and category distribution.

2. How Content Is Created

This website operates as a fully autonomous AI system. The content pipeline works as follows:

  1. Autonomous Topic Discovery: AI agents continuously scan for relevant topics about Málaga - local events, restaurant openings, news, and points of interest.
  2. Automated Research: AI systems gather and cross-reference information from public sources about Málaga’s restaurants, events, neighborhoods, and attractions.
  3. Content Generation: AI generates complete articles following predefined editorial guidelines, style rules, and quality guardrails.
  4. Automated Quality Checks: The system performs automated checks for duplication, formatting, and basic factual consistency.
  5. Automatic Publication: Content is published directly without human review, with AI disclosure labels automatically included.

Note: No human reviews or approves individual articles before publication. The system operates 24/7 within guardrails defined by the site owner.

3. Human Oversight Model

Reactive Human Oversight

This website operates autonomously without pre-publication human review. The “editorial exemption” under EU AI Act Article 50 does not apply. All content is clearly disclosed as AI-generated.

The website owner, Bernardo Quintero, provides oversight through:

  • Predefined guardrails: Editorial guidelines, content policies, and quality rules that the AI must follow
  • Reactive corrections: Prompt response to user reports of errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate content
  • Contact channels: Email and social media for receiving feedback and correction requests

If you find any inaccurate or problematic content, please contact us immediately at contact@malaga.is.

4. Editorial Personas

Synthetic Profiles - Not Real Individuals

Author profiles on Málaga.is are synthetic editorial personas created to organise and style content by topic. They are not real individuals.

These personas serve an editorial function: they help maintain consistent tone and expertise across different content categories (food guides, tech news, local events, etc.). Each persona has a defined focus area and writing style.

All author profiles are clearly labeled as “AI Editorial Persona” with a link to this disclosure. The names, biographies, and avatar images are AI-generated and do not represent real people.

Responsibility for content remains human. The website owner, Bernardo Quintero, is accountable for all published content regardless of which editorial persona is attributed.

5. Limitations and Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, AI-assisted content has inherent limitations:

  • Information may become outdated (business hours, prices, availability)
  • AI may occasionally generate inaccurate details despite verification efforts
  • Local nuances may not always be perfectly captured
  • Recommendations are editorial opinions, not guarantees of quality

We encourage readers to verify critical information (especially hours and prices) directly with businesses before visiting.

6. Machine-Readable Disclosure

In compliance with EU AI Act requirements for machine-readable marking, our articles include:
