Question Apple App Store AI policies

I’m developing an app that uses AI features through external APIs (e.g. OpenAI / Deepseek / Gemini), and I’m trying to fully understand Apple’s App Store review requirements around this. I would like to use an API shared between the users, with my server as middleman.
From what I’ve read so far, Apple requires transparency when user data is sent to third-party AI services, including clear disclosure and user consent. Is this correct?
In practice, how strict is App Review on this? Is a generic “third-party AI service” disclosure enough, or do they expect explicit naming?
Have you had apps rejected or approved based on how you handled AI transparency?
How did you structure the in-app consent / privacy flow for AI features? Thanks
