On Thursday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the Artificial Intelligence Deceptive Advertising Act into law, marking a significant step in regulating AI-generated content in advertising. This new legislation mandates that any advertisement—whether it is a still image, video, audio, or text—that has been significantly modified or generated by artificial intelligence must include a clear label indicating its AI origin.
The law aims to enhance transparency in advertising, ensuring that consumers are aware when they are interacting with AI-generated content. By requiring disclosures, Pennsylvania seeks to combat potential misinformation and manipulation that can arise from the use of AI in marketing.
This regulatory move is part of a broader trend among states to implement measures governing the use of artificial intelligence, reflecting growing concerns about its impact on consumer trust and the integrity of information in the digital marketplace.
