Pennsylvania enacts disclosure requirements for AI-generated advertisements
Pennsylvania has enacted a law requiring advertisements significantly generated or modified with AI to carry disclosures in the same format as the ad. The rule applies across images, video, audio and text, including advertisements created outside Pennsylvania that are expected to run there. Its practical reach remains uncertain because terms such as “significantly modified,” “false consumer perception” and “evidently fictional” are not clearly defined, while exemptions cover satire, commentary, criticism and parody.
