'Feel-good measure': Google to require visible disclosure in political ads using AI for images and audio

Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government Group, tells Fox News Digital that criminal groups, mostly in other countries, are advertising on social media to market their AI capabilities for fraud and other crimes. Google is set to require political advertising that uses artificial intelligence to generate images or sounds come with a visible disclosure for users. "AI-generated content should absolutely be disclosed in political advertisements. Not doing so leaves the American people open to misleading and predatory campaign ads," Ziven Havens, the Policy Director at the Bull Moose Project, told Fox News Digital. "In the absence of government action, we support the creation of new rulemaking to handle the new frontier of technology before it becomes a major problem" Havens' comments come after Google revealed last week that it will start requiring the disclosure of the use of AI to alter images in political ads starting in November, a little more than a year before the 2024 election, according to a PBS report.
