Google ads disclosure
rules for the use of AI
Beginning
in November, Google will require disclosures for the use of generative AI in political
advertising. This disclosure should be clear, conspicuous, and placed where users
are likely to see it. This policy applies to image, video, and audio content.
The disclosure will be required on ads that “contain synthetic content that inauthentically
depicts real or realistic-looking people or events. Synthetic content that has
minimal impact on the ad's claims, like resizing, cropping, color correction,
defect correction (e.g., "red eye" removal), or non-realistic background
edits, will be exempt from disclosure requirements.
Examples of content requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure include:
-
Ads featuring synthetic
content that falsely portrays individuals saying or doing things they didn't.
- Ads with synthetic content
altering real event footage or creating realistic depictions of events that didn't happen.
As a reminder, the use of deep fakes to deceive voters is
a violation of the AAPC’s Code of Ethics.
