Here's a great browser extension that searched the steam store pages for the AI declaration and pops up a giant warning when there is one and shows you the text or it.

I apprecite this exists.

That being said, I almost always use the Steam application to browse their storefront, and it doesn't look like it works in that case. I totally get why it doesn't, just pointing it out

In a way, this only punishes devs who are honest about it.

How is it punishing, if the entire reason of Ai declaration is to be seen? And this is a way for someone who really cares about this to not overlook it by accident. We call this "an informed decision" before buying something. It's the same reason why developers or publisher have to declare anti cheat usage or third party account requirement or any DRM too.

People who really care about it are still going to be exposed to games that contain "undeclared" AI assets.

Yes. Just because some break rules does not mean we should have no rules. I mean obviously there will be some who hide this fact and hope nobody notices it, this is without saying. So I don't understand why you specifically bring this up.

Edit: Let me make an example. Some games or applications may collect your data. What we are asking is, please tell us, force them to tell us. There might be some who don't tell us and collect data without we ever noticing. So that would be those people similar to "undeclared" Ai assets.
