What it does
Political ads that use AI-made images or video must have a warning label. The rule covers online ads on big platforms with 50 million U.S. users or more. The Federal Election Commission gets 120 days to write rules. The new rules start January 1, 2027.
Who it affects
Voters learn which political ads have AI images. People who make political ads must add a label if they use AI.
One thing to notice
The rule only covers big platforms with 50 million users. Smaller websites where political ads run may not have to follow the rule.
