Google Cracks Down On AI-Altered Election Ads
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Alphabet Inc.'s Google is implementing a new policy requiring election advertisers to disclose the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in their ads. This policy, effective from mid-November, mandates that ads altered by generative AI must clearly state so. However, the policy does not apply to videos on YouTube or content on Meta Platforms Inc.'s Facebook and Instagram. The move is part of Google's efforts to enhance transparency and combat misinformation in political advertising.
