We found no rule in force on labelling AI content here; the drafts below aren't law.

Bills and drafts

Not law: they don't change a country's coverage or what a call needs.

Ecuador AI Bill (trámite 485405), Art. 17: Draft: not in force. Make synthetic content that could pass as authentic identifiable as AI-made: labels, marks or metadata.

In the API

Send markets=ec on each call to POST /v1/mark: a call that lacks what Ecuador's rules need is refused before anything is counted, and each mark gets a receipt of what it carries for each law.

What a mark for Ecuador carries, by kind of file
File	Made with AI	A deep fake (`deepfake=true`)
Picture	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Clip	Watermark and Content Credentials	Watermark and Content Credentials
Song	Watermark and Content Credentials	Refused for now: a song can't carry a visible label, and spoken notices for deep fakes aren't available yet: leave "deepfake" off for songs.
